Massachusetts has approved six ignition interlock vendors.
Massachusetts has approved six vendors to supply ignition interlock devices (IID), also known as in car breathalzyers, to meet the requirements for IID installation. An ignition interlock breathalyzer measures the driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) and if it exceeds a preset limit, .02 in Massachusetts, the device prevents the vehicle from starting.
Massachusetts requires the use of ignition interlock devices in the vehicles driven by certain individuals. These include those convicted of two or more OUIs and eligible for a hardship license or license reinstatement, those who have been ordered to use an IID by a court, and those for whom a court has reinstated their license after a suspension of five years or more for a Chemical Test Refusal.
