Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) The provisions in this subsection only apply to the use of a device pursuant to an Installation Authority.

(b) The device shall:

(1) Permit a free restart of the motor vehicle within two (2) minutes after the engine has shut off without requiring a further breath alcohol test.

(2) Have a data storage system of sufficient capacity to facilitate the recording and maintaining of all daily driving activities and pictures for the period of time elapsed from one maintenance and calibration to the next. All daily driving activity records in this data storage system shall be maintained by the manufacturer or the licensed service center and shall be available to the Installation Authority, Monitor and/or the Board upon request.

(3) Display tamper seals and a warning label that states: "Any person attempting to physically disable, disconnect or wire around this device or who intentionally fails to return the device upon request by the owner may be guilty of a misdemeanor under Oklahoma law (47 O.S. §11-902a)." If the device consists of separate pieces (e.g. a handset and separate base unit) a separate warning label shall be placed on each piece.

(4) Incorporate a camera on all BOT IDAP participant installations that is not located in the handset and meets the following requirements:
(A) Each camera shall be mounted to the vehicle so that it does not obstruct the driver's view and provides a clear unobstructed view of the driver.

(B) Has a sufficiently wide angle that it will be possible to determine whether the individual blowing into the device is seated in the driver's seat.

(C) The technician shall take a reference image of the participant in the driver's seat during the installation appointment.

(D) The camera shall operate in all lighting conditions and take an image of the driver with sufficient clarity and resolution to allow driver identification.

(E) The camera shall capture an image on each of the following events:
(i) An attempted or successful breath alcohol test.

(ii) Each time the vehicle is started.

(iii) A circumvention.

(iv) A retest violation.

(c) The startup set point value for the device shall be an alcohol concentration of 0.025 g/210L.

(d) The positive result value for the device shall be an alcohol concentration of 0.025g/210L.

(e) A retest feature is required while a vehicle's engine is in operation.

(1) The first retest shall be required at a randomly variable interval ranging from five (5) to fifteen (15) minutes after passing the startup test and starting the vehicle's engine. Subsequent retests shall be required at a randomly variable interval ranging from fifteen (15) to forty-five (45) minutes from the previously requested test for the duration of the travel.

(2) The device shall allow five (5) minutes for the retest to be completed.

(3) The retest set point value shall be an alcohol concentration of 0.025 g/210L.

(4) An audible and/or visual indicator shall come on to alert the driver that a retest is in progress. Once a retest is in progress, failure to deliver a negative result within the time frame allowed shall:
(A) Activate an audible and/or visual indicator inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, until the engine is shutdown.

(B) Record a retest violation in the data storage system, and

(C) Disable the free restart.

(f) The device shall have an approved anti circumvention feature(s) activated at all times.

(g) The device shall require a confirmatory test in response to a circumvention.

(1) The device shall allow two (2) minutes for the confirmatory test to be completed.

(2) The confirmatory test set point value shall be an alcohol concentration of 0.025 g/210L.

(3) An audible and/or visual indicator shall come on to alert the driver that a confirmatory test is in progress. Once a confirmatory test is in progress, failure to deliver a negative result within the time frame allowed shall:
(A) Activate an audible and/or visual indicator inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, until the engine is shutdown.

(B) Record a circumvention violation in the data storage system, and

(C) Disable the free restart.

(4) Once the confirmatory test is passed, the device shall enter the normal retest sequence as provided by these rules.

(h) The device shall have a breath sample collection volume limit at or above 1.2 Liters unless an alternative configuration has been approved by the Board.

(i) In addition to the standards and specifications listed herein, the Board or its designee may impose additional requirements, as needed, depending upon design and functional changes in device technology and to ensure that the device functions properly and reliably.
