Interlock drivers face extensions with safeguards
Beginning July 1, 2026, Arkansas drivers with interlock-restricted licenses generally must use the device through their original license suspension. A provider-confirmed violation in the final 60 days, or during an extension, adds 60 days of required use. Violations include attempting a start above 0.025% blood alcohol, missing a random retest, testing above 0.025% on a retest, or missing required service and monitoring. An alcohol-test violation does not add time when a test within 10 minutes is below 0.025% and an image confirms the same person tested. A missed retest does not add time if an image shows the person was not in the vehicle. Providers must report violations to the Office of Driver Services. At the end of the required period, drivers must request a provider's certificate of compliance to remove the restriction. Drivers notified of a violation can accept the extension or seek reconsideration. If the provider confirms the violation and extension, the driver may demand device removal.
New testing rules for interlock drivers
Beginning July 1, 2026, Arkansas interlocks must block vehicle starts at a blood-alcohol level of 0.025% or higher. Health Department rules require devices to support random alcohol retests while the engine runs, with enough notice. Devices must keep each test result while installed and take and store a digital image at each test. They must measure alcohol accurately, work reliably without supervision, resist bypassing, and avoid interfering with safe driving. They must also limit inconvenience for sober users. Manufacturers must provide installation, training, service, maintenance, and the ability to send monitoring reports to the Office of Driver Services.
