Section R17-5-615 - Rolling Retest; Missed Rolling Retest; Extension of Ignition Interlock Period

A. A manufacturer shall report to the Department any valid and substantiated missed rolling retests, as defined in R17-5-601, that occur during the time period prescribed in subsection (E).

B. A CIID shall have the capability to require a rolling retest and meet the requirements of a rolling retest. A person shall be prompted for the first rolling retest within five to 15 minutes after the initial test required to start an engine, and the device shall prompt for additional rolling retests at random intervals of up to 30 minutes after each previously requested and passed rolling retest.

C. A certified ignition interlock device shall:

1. Emit a warning light, tone, or both, to alert a person that a rolling retest is required;

2. Allow a period of six minutes after the warning light, tone, or both, to allow a person to take a rolling retest;

3. Require a person to perform a new test to restart an engine if it is switched off during or after a rolling retest warning;

4. Allow a free restart of a motor vehicle's ignition, within three minutes after the ignition is switched off, without requiring another breath alcohol test, except when a rolling retest is in progress;

5. Use the set point value for startups and retests;

6. Record, in its data storage system, the result of each rolling retest performed by a person during the person's drive cycle, and any valid and substantiated missed rolling retests; and

7. Immediately require another rolling retest each time a person refuses to perform a requested rolling retest.

D. Until a person successfully performs a rolling retest, or the engine is switched off, a device shall record in its data storage system, each subsequent refusal or failure of the person to perform the requested rolling retest.

E. The Department shall count one missed rolling retest for a person who refuses or fails to provide a valid and substantiated breath sample in response to a requested rolling retest if not followed by the person providing a valid and substantiated breath sample within six minutes.

F. Failure to take a rolling retest when a person's breath alcohol concentration is equal to or exceeds the set point shall not sound the vehicle horn, nor any type of siren, bell, whistle or any device emitting a similar sound, or any unreasonable loud or harsh sound that is audible outside of the vehicle, and shall not cause the engine of the vehicle to shut off.

G. The Department shall extend a person's ignition interlock period for six months, as provided in A.R.S. § 28-1461(E) for any set of three consecutive missed rolling retests that occur within an 18-minute time frame during a drive cycle.

H. If during one drive cycle, a person who is at least 21 years of age, has two or more breath alcohol concentrations of 0.08 or more, the Department shall count this as one violation, and shall extend a person's ignition interlock period for six months.

I. If during one drive cycle, a person who is under 21 years of age, has any breath alcohol concentration one or more times, the Department shall count this as one violation, and shall extend a person's ignition interlock period for six months.

J. Except as provided in subsections (H) and (I), if during one drive cycle, a person has more than one violation as defined in R17-5-601, the Department shall extend a person's ignition interlock period for six months for each violation.
