The Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) is a driving permit issued to first-time DUI offenders during the Statutory Summary Suspension period under 625 ILCS 5/6-206.1. It allows unrestricted driving privileges, meaning the driver can go anywhere and drive any time, on the condition that the vehicle is equipped with a BAIID (Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device). The MDDP takes effect on day 30 of the summary suspension. To qualify, the driver must be a first-time offender, hold a valid Illinois license at the time of arrest, and not have caused death or great bodily harm. The driver pays for BAIID installation, monthly monitoring, and camera fees. Any violation resets the clock and extends the suspension.
