This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here and here about MDDP. It’s the Illinois program that lets people who are accused of a DUI drive a vehicle with a BAIID installed. One of the exceptions is an exemption for work.
Suppose you work for a company that requires you to drive company vehicles, well you can’t install a BAIID on your bosses car right? Even the Secretary of State agrees with that except when you are either 1) self-employed or 2) work for a family member.
(a-2) Persons who are issued a MDDP and must drive employer-owned vehicles in the course of their employment duties may seek permission to drive an employer-owned vehicle that does not have an ignition interlock device.
No person may use this exemption to drive an employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or by a family member of the person holding the MDDP.
Clearly, this is a blow for those who are legitimately self-employed or work in a family business.
