 "firstOffenseIidNote": "North Dakota has no statute mandating an ignition interlock for a first DUI conviction. Under N.D.C.C. § 39-06.1-11(4), when the director issues a temporary restricted license under subsection 3, the director 'may require an ignition interlock device be installed in the offender's vehicle.' The Century Code chapters on DUI penalties (ch. 39-08) and implied consent (ch. 39-20) contain no ignition-interlock provision; the state's principal DUI compliance tool is the 24/7 sobriety program (N.D.C.C. ch. 54-12), which § 39-08-01(5) makes a mandatory probation condition for second and subsequent offenses.",
 "sr22Note": "SR-22. N.D.C.C. § 39-16.1-07(2) provides that after a conviction under § 39-08-01 (DUI) 'no license may be issued or returned to the person, unless the person gives and maintains proof of financial responsibility.' NDDOT states an SR-22 insurance certificate is the form of proof. Under § 39-16.1-19(1)(a) the director may waive/cancel the proof 'at any time after one year from the date such proof was required' if no further disqualifying conviction is received in that year; the one-year figure is derived from that provision, not from a page that states 'one year' for DUI directly.",
