The Illinois Monitoring Device Driving Permit is available to first-offender drivers during Statutory Summary Suspension under 625 ILCS 5/11-501.1. The suspension begins 46 days after the sworn notice and lasts 6 months for a failed chemical test or 12 months for a refusal. The MDDP allows unlimited driving with a BAIID ignition interlock installed at the driver's expense. Application involves paying fees to the Secretary of State, choosing an approved BAIID provider, and installing the device within 14 days of the suspension start. The permit is denied for drivers with prior DUI, certain accident-related suspensions, or CDL holders. A Chicago DUI lawyer confirms eligibility and calendars every deadline.
