2. Offender must be on active supervision (probation).
3. Offender must be a legal resident of the United States.
4. Target population is Driving after Cancellation/Inimical to Public Safety (DAC/IPS); however, the court may order others required by statute to operate with interlock as a condition to becoming valid to participate.
5. Voluntary participants may not already have ignition interlock installed on the vehicle prior to applying for assistance.

The Court may order an offender to switch vendors to enroll in the program or order an offender into the program while already installed with the Tenth Judicial District vendor to receive the enhanced supervision.

9. Those eligible for Tenth Judicial District Ignition Interlock Assistance will be granted one special review to be used in the case of a reduction in hours, loss of employment, or significant change in child support obligation, at which time funding tier eligibility will be reassessed based on the offender’s last month’s income and prospective income.
10. Sufficient funds must remain in the program budget to cover the cost of services.
11. To receive financial assistance beyond the installation cost, first month’s lease fee, and set-up fee, offender must be eligible for one of the three tiers.

(Tier Guidelines should be updated annually to reflect the Federal Poverty Guideline changes).
