LAC 55:III.419. Authorized Removal

A. An authorized removal as defined in this Chapter, other than an authorized removal at the end of the lease term, is not an authorization to operate a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock device. The operation of a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock install during the period of a restricted license is a violation and will be sanctioned as directed in the relevant statute. B. An authorized removal as defined in this Chapter, other than an authorized removal at the end of the lease term, during any period of ignition interlock required as a condition of reinstatement as provided in R.S. 32:667(I) is not an authorization to operate a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock device during the time period specified in R.S. 32:667(I). If the removal of the ignition interlock devices was authorized in this subchapter, the individual shall promptly have an approved ignition interlock device installed in a substitute vehicle no later than five business days after the authorized removal. If the individual is unable to provide proof of installation of an approved ignition interlock device by the close of business on the fifth day after the authorized removal, the individual shall surrender his driver’s license to the department until such time as the individual can provide proof of installation of an approved ignition interlock device.
