 "firstOffenseIidNote": "K.S.A. 8-1014(b)(1)(A) and 8-1015(b): on a first test failure or alcohol-related conviction (BAC .08–.149), the Division suspends driving privileges for 30 days and then restricts them to an ignition-interlock-equipped vehicle for 180 days (one year if the record shows certain prior actions, § 8-1015(b)(2)). If BAC is 0.15 or greater, § 8-1014(b)(2)(A): one-year suspension then one-year interlock restriction. First test refusal, § 8-1014(a)(1): one-year suspension then two-year interlock restriction. Under § 8-1015(a) a suspended person may apply ($100 fee) to convert the suspension period to interlock-restricted driving.",
 "sr22Note": "K.S.A. 40-3118(d)(1) directs the director of vehicles to require a person to acquire insurance, and the insurer to keep evidence of that insurance on file with the Division of Vehicles for a period of one year, when the person has been convicted in Kansas or another state of any of the violations enumerated in K.S.A. 8-285. K.S.A. 8-285(a)(2) enumerates violating K.S.A. 8-1567 (driving under the influence), and 8-285 states that for that purpose 'conviction' includes a diversion agreement entered in lieu of prosecution. The KDOR Division of Vehicles pages do not use the term 'SR-22'; the KDOR driving-record code sheet (DC-9) carries code FR4, 'Failure to maintain continuous liability insurance or file evidence of insurance – administrative suspension' (the description is split across two columns in the PDF; the evidence quote is the contiguous first part). sr22Years = 1 (the statutory one-year period).",
