Certification of arrest paperwork indicates that a driver has submitted with an alcohol content of .08 or above, and the certification of arrest paperwork and the driving history indicates one of the following:

• At the time of arrest there was a child in the vehicle age 12 or younger;
• There is a prior alcohol violation on the record within five years (effective 8/1/14 ten years) of the current violation.

Then the record will reflect that an ignition interlock device will be required upon expiration of the suspension and reinstatement of the driving privileges or upon issuance of a restricted hardship license.

NOTE:
Due to a Supreme Court ruling dated October 16, 2012, any Submit arrest date prior to June 18, 2013, with a prior alcohol violation on the record as defined above, within five years, will not require an interlock as a condition of reinstatement if the Submit did not result in a DWI conviction.

R.S. 32:667 was amended effective June 18, 2013 to state that any Submit arrest dated June 18, 2013 and after, with a prior alcohol violation on the record as defined above, within five years, will require an interlock as a condition of reinstatement regardless of the disposition of the DWI.
