Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 308-107 WAC, Ignition interlock driver's license.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 46.01.110.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: E2SHB 1614, enacted by the 2017 legislature, requires that the department of licensing (DOL) adopt a rule to allow individuals to obtain a medical exemption to their ignition interlock device (IID) tolling requirement if they have a physical disability preventing them from operating an IID. The rule will provide DOL a process to certify compliance to remove the IID requirement from the individual's record.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: The administrative office of the courts and the Washington state patrol.

Process for Developing New Rule: Internal review and stakeholder input.
