Judge's Section
Our office has received inquiries from members
of the judiciary on Ignition Interlock related topics. These
include, requests for DHSMV memorandums, as well as, questions concerning the
current practical ramifications that
might result from the imposition of a court order mandating
interlock installation prior to driver’s license
reinstatement. The Adobe PDF document links found below should provide you
with assistance in the following areas:
1. "Bench reference”
type guides that
quickly outline minimum mandatory
interlock
imposition periods and other
statutory criteria.
2.
DHSMV correspondence that
highlights the status of the
Florida Ignition Interlock Program.
3. Interlock information specific to the Sixth
Judicial Circuit.
