8 INFORMATION ABOUT APPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS, IGNITION INTERLOCK LICENSE (IIL) AND IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE REQUIREMENTS (IID) 1. The filing of an appeal from an administrative ruling does not stay the effective date of the suspension, revocation, or denial. If judicial relief is sought for a stay or other temporary remedy from the department s action, the court shall not grant such relief unless the court finds that the appellant is likely to prevail in the appeal and that without a stay the appellant will suffer irreparable injury. If the court stays the suspension, revocation, or denial it may impose conditions on such stay. [RCW (9)]. 2. A person receiving an ignition interlock driver s license (IIL) waives his or her right to a hearing or an appeal under RCW [RCW (1)(b) 14 ]. 3. The Department of Licensing shall require that after any applicable period of suspension, revocation or denial of driving privileges for a conviction of RCW or RCW that a person drive only a vehicle equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device (IID). [RCW (3)]. 4. The ignition interlock device (IID) and/or ignition interlock license (IIL) is not necessary on vehicles owned, leased or rented by a person s employer and on those vehicles whose care/maintenance is the temporary responsibility of the employer and driven at the direction of the person s employer as a requirement of employment during work hours. This exception does not apply if the vehicle is exclusively assigned to the individual and used solely for commuting to and from work. This exception also does not apply for the first 30 days if the interlock is installed as the result of a first violation or 365 days if a second or subsequent violation. [RCW (1)(c) & RCW (3)]. 5. RCW (4): The restriction of a functioning ignition interlock device (IID) applicable after a period of suspension, revocation, or denial of a driving privilege shall remain in effect until the department receives certification that there have been none of the following incidents in the prior four consecutive prior to the date of release: A. An attempt to start a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more B. Failure to take or pass any required retest, or C. Failure of the person to appear at the ignition interlock device vendor when required for maintenance, repair, calibration, monitoring, inspection or replacement of the device. 6. The time period during which the person has an ignition interlock license (IIL) shall apply on a day-for-day basis towards satisfying the period of time the ignition interlock device (IID) is required under RCW and RCW [RCW (1)(c)(iii)]. 7. The Department must also give day-for-day credit for the time period, beginning from the date of the incident, during which the person kept an ignition interlock installed toward the ignition interlock interlock requirement upon reinstatement (IID).
