Section 5. Additional Information
1.
Not all applicants will be eligible for modification from suspension to the restriction framework. Modification of
the imposed suspension to restricted ignition interlock driving privileges will only apply to those applicants that
are solely suspended or revoked for a DUI conviction, chemical test failure, or chemical test refusal.
Reasons for the denial of an application may include, but not be limited to, the following suspension types
existing on the applicant’s record: 1) failure to appear in court on a traffic citation; 2) conviction for failure to
maintain required liability insurance coverage on a vehicle at the time of an accident or traffic stop; 3) failure to
file or maintain evidence of liability insurance on record with the Driver Control Bureau; 4) failure to comply with a
child support order; 5) conviction for driving while suspended; 5) conviction of reckless driving; 6) conviction for
failure to stop and render aid in some circumstances; 7) previous or subsequent DUI conviction or test failure; 8)
Previous or subsequent Refusal conviction or test refusal; 9) out of state suspension; and/or 10) determined to
be a habitual violator.
2.
Proof of the installation of the Ignition Interlock device, for the entire period required by the applicable law, shall
4
be provided to the Division before the person’s driving privileges will be fully reinstated.
Reinstatement
requirements relating to, but not limited to, retesting, reinstatement fees, and proof of insurance also remain as
pre-requisites to full re-instatement. Please be advised, any time spent serving a restriction to ignition interlock
with limited driving privileges counts towards required suspension time and does not count towards unrestricted
ignition interlock periods that follow the suspension period.
3.
If you are a commercial licensed driver and your commercial driving privileges are currently disqualified, the
modification and restriction will only apply toward your regular driving privileges. Your commercial driving
privileges will remain disqualified.
4.
For first occurrences, limited ignition interlock driving privileges shall permit operation with an ignition interlock
device and only under circumstances provided by subsections (a)(1), (2), (3), and (4) of K.S.A. 8-292. For
second or subsequent occurrences, limited ignition interlock driving privileges shall permit operation with an
ignition interlock device and only for the purposes of getting to and from: Work, school or an alcohol treatment
