Description
No, not under the administrative suspension pursuant to 46.20.308. Your client would need to wait out the suspension. If your client is convicted of DUI, the court will order her to obtain an IIL. If she does not have a car, the court "shall order the person to submit to alcohol monitoring through an alcohol detection breathalyzer device, transdermal sensor device, or other technology designed to detect alcohol in a person's system." Your client will be required to pay for this.
An IIL is a new type of driver's license. If your client loses his license because of a DUI conviction or an administrative hearing under 46.20.308 she can receive this license from the DOL. The main requirement for this license is an ignition interlock on all vehicles driven by your client. It is not necessary on work vehicles. There will be a fund set up to help indigent clients pay for an IIL. There will be no waiting periods for it - your client should not have any time without a license - refusals, first offenses, second offenses, etc. Your client will be required to have SR22 insurance.
Yes. In my opinion, she should still request a DOL administrative hearing. The upside to requesting the hearing is that your client may win this hearing - saving a hit on the DOL abstract and preventing the need for an IIL and SR 22 insurance. There is really no downside to requesting the hearing (other than the $200 hearing request fee). If after reviewing the police report it looks like your client is going to lose the hearing, then she can just apply for an IIL. Once the IIL is granted your client will lose the right to the hearing and any appeal.
