§ 39:4-50.
a. The court shall notify the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle
Commission when a person has been ordered to install an ignition interlock device
in a vehicle pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1999, c. 417 ( C.39:4-50.16 et al.). The commission shall require that the device be installed before restoration of the
person's driver's license that has been forfeited pursuant to R.S.39:4-50 or section 2 of P.L.1981, c. 512 ( C.39:4-50.4a ). A vendor may, without a court order, install an ignition interlock device in a vehicle
that a person owns, leases, or principally operates if requested by a person who has
been arrested for a violation of R.S.39:4-50 as set forth in R.S.39:4-50 . Upon proof that the ignition interlock device has been installed, the commission,
upon request of the licensee, shall imprint a notation on the person's driver's license
pursuant to subsection b. of this section. The licensee's request shall include a copy of the interlock installer's certification
and documentation of the pending charges as determined by the Chief Administrator
of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to be submitted no later than seven days
after receipt of the documentation. b. The commission shall imprint a notation on the driver's license stating that the
person shall not operate a motor vehicle unless it is equipped with an ignition interlock
device and shall enter this requirement in the person's driving record. The expiration date of the device requirement shall not be imprinted on the license. c. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2 of P.L.1999, c. 417 ( C.39:4-50.17 ), an ignition interlock device shall be removed on the date the person completes
the installation period only if the person submits to the chief administrator a certification
from the vendor that: (1) during the final 30 days of the installation period there was not more than one
failure to take or pass a test with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher
unless a re-test conducted within five minutes of the initial test indicates a blood
alcohol concentration of less than 0.08%; and (2) the person complied with all required maintenance, repair, calibration, monitoring,
and inspection requirements related to the device. d. If the vendor does not issue a certification to the person because there were two
or more violations of paragraph (1) of subsection c. of this section, the vendor shall
forward the violation information to the chief administrator and the court. The court shall decide whether to extend the period of ignition interlock device installation
for up to 90 days or issue the certification to the chief administrator.
