Bill No. 921 amends Section 6-212.5 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding the Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP). The bill transfers the administration of IDAP from the Department of Public Safety to the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence for impaired driving arrests occurring on or after November 1, 2022. It establishes an administrative fee of $150 for each participant, with specific allocations of the fee to various state funds. The bill also outlines the requirements for participation in IDAP, including the installation of ignition interlock devices, criteria for medical exemptions, and provisions for employer exceptions.
Additionally, the bill modifies the process for individuals to enroll in IDAP by requiring them to submit a request and fee within thirty days of receiving a revocation notice from Service Oklahoma, rather than from the date of arrest. It stipulates that upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a completion certificate, allowing for the reinstatement of their driving privileges if they meet all other eligibility criteria. The bill also includes provisions for the Board to regulate ignition interlock devices and their providers, ensuring that no provider can impound vehicles for outstanding debts. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage.
