About the Program

Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Department of Revenue regulate the ignition interlock device industry within Kansas.

The following information is offered to help people make an informed decision when selecting an ignition interlock device to install in their vehicle.

Purpose of the Ignition Interlock Device

An ignition interlock device is a mechanism that prevents a vehicle from starting when the breath alcohol concentration in a breath alcohol test meets or exceeds the startup set point.

The ignition interlock device is used as a part of licensing actions administered by the Kansas Division of Vehicles. Additionally, the ignition interlock device is used by many courts and probation officers as a program condition or condition of probation for individuals charged or convicted of alcohol related offenses.

Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) 8-1001 through 8-1025 and Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) 92-56-1 through 92-56-9 govern ignition interlock device activity.

About Ignition Interlock Device approval

The Kansas Ignition Interlock Vendor Compliance Program (IIVCP) certifies ignition interlock devices every three years and publishes a list of ignition interlock manufacturers approved in Kansas. The list includes manufacturer contact information, including a toll-free phone number to call for installation information. The list of approved ignition interlock providers appears in a random order and rotates every month.

The Kansas Highway Patrol and the State of Kansas does not endorse any manufacturer, service center or device.

Service Centers

Ignition interlock service centers are physically inspected and certified on an annual basis in Kansas by the Ignition Interlock Vendor Compliance Program (IIVCP).

The lease and service agreement through the service center may include fees for installation, monthly service, and removal of the ignition interlock device. Other fees may be assessed by the service center for rescheduling, violation resets, permanent lockouts, etc. You are encouraged to contact the manufacturer to inquire about types and costs of fees.

Technicians

Ignition interlock providers are approved by the Ignition Interlock Vendor Compliance Program (IIVCP) every two years.

No person may perform any service related to any device without approval. Kansas state law specifically prohibits any person from making an overt or conscious attempt to physically disable, disconnect or circumvent an ignition interlock device, unless certified pursuant to Kansas rules and regulations or statutes.
