2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 15 - Criminal Procedure|§306. Operating a vehicle while intoxicated; additional conditions of probation; ignition interlock devices

RS 306 - Operating a vehicle while intoxicated; additional conditions of probation; ignition interlock devices A.(1) As an additional condition of probation, the court shall require that any person convicted of a second or subsequent violation of R.S. 14:98 and placed on probation in accordance with that Section shall not operate a motor vehicle during the period of probation unless any vehicle, while being operated by that person, is equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device as provided in R.S. 15:307. (2) However, nothing in this Section shall be construed as granting a superior right to a restricted license than that provided in R.S. 32:378.2 with regard to any period of preliminary disqualification. B.(1) When the court imposes the use of an ignition interlock device as a condition of probation upon a person, the court shall require the person to provide proof of installation of such a device to the court or a probation officer within thirty days. If the person fails to provide proof of installation within that period, absent a finding by the court of good cause for that failure which is entered into the court record, the court shall revoke the person's probation. (2) "Proof of installation" shall mean either a certificate of installation or a copy of the lease agreement with one of the approved ignition interlock device companies. C. The person whose driving privileges are restricted pursuant to this Section shall have the system on his vehicle monitored by the manufacturer for proper use at least semiannually or more frequently as the court may order. A report of any monitoring shall be issued by the manufacturer to the court within fourteen days after the monitoring. D. If a person is required in the course and scope of his employment to operate a motor vehicle which does not have an approved ignition interlock device, and if the vehicle is owned by the employer, the court may allow the person to operate the employer's vehicle. Any person authorized to operate an employer's vehicle without an ignition interlock device shall be required to obtain and present to the court written permission from the employer for the employee to operate a specific vehicle or vehicles. Such permission shall be in the possession of such person when he operates the employer's vehicle. A motor vehicle owned by a business entity which is in whole or in part owned or controlled by a person otherwise subject to this Section is not a motor vehicle owned by the employer.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 15 - Criminal Procedure|§307. Ignition interlock devices; installation and certification

RS 307 - Ignition interlock devices; installation and certification A. As used in R.S. 15:306, "ignition interlock device" means a constant monitoring device that prevents a motor vehicle from being started at any time without first determining the equivalent blood alcohol level of the operator through the taking of a breath sample for testing. The system shall be calibrated so that the motor vehicle may not be started if the blood alcohol level of the operator, as measured by the test, reaches a level established by the court and consistent with the rules promulgated by the secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, hereafter referred to as the "secretary". B.(1) The secretary shall certify or cause to be certified ignition interlock devices required by R.S. 15:306 and shall publish a list of approved devices. All reasonable costs of certification shall be borne by the manufacturer. The manufacturer of the system shall be responsible for the installation or the training of installers and shall educate users and service and maintain the system. (2) The ignition interlock device shall be installed, calibrated, and monitored directly by trained technicians who shall train the offender for whom the device is being installed in the proper use of the device. C. The secretary shall formulate and promulgate a set of rules and regulations for the proper approval, installation, and use of ignition interlock devices in full compliance with this Section and R.S. 15:306. The standards shall include but not be limited to requirements that the devices or systems: (1) Do not impede the safe operation of the vehicle. (2) Correlate with established measures of alcohol impairment. (3) Work accurately and reliably in an unsupervised environment. (4) Resist tampering and give evidence if tampering is attempted. (5) Are difficult to circumvent. (6) Minimize inconvenience to a sober user. (7) Require a proper, deep lung breath sample or other accurate measure of blood alcohol content equivalence. (8) Operate reliably over the range of automobile environments. (9) Are manufactured by a party who will provide product liability insurance and a bond against malfunction of the device. D. The secretary may adopt in whole or relevant part the guidelines, rules, regulations, studies, or independent laboratory tests performed or relied upon by other states, their agencies or commissions. E. The secretary shall design and adopt by regulation a warning label which shall be affixed to each ignition interlock device upon installation. The label shall contain a warning that any person tampering with, defeating, or otherwise circumventing the device is guilty of a criminal offense and subject to criminal penalty and civil liability.
