Rule 13a. (1) If a person whose license was denied or revoked under section
303(2)(c) or (g) of the act, or denied or revoked under section 303(2)(d) of the act for
1 conviction for a violation or attempted violation of section 625(4) or 625(5), or any
prior or subsequent enactment of those provisions, whether under a law of this
state, a local ordinance substantially corresponding to a law of this state, or a law of
another state substantially corresponding to a law of this state, was granted a restricted
license on or before October 1, 1999, and the hearing officer continues the restricted
license following a hearing held after October 1, 1999, then the hearing officer may do
both of the following:
(a) Require the installation of a BAIID on each motor vehicle the person owns or
intends to operate, the costs of which shall be borne by the person whose license is
restricted.
(b) Condition the issuance of the continued restricted license upon verification
by the department that a BAIID has been installed.
(2) A restricted license permitted under section 319(8)(g) of the act shall not be
issued until proof of the installation of the BAIID required under section 319(8)(h) of
the act is provided to the department.
(3) The minimum period required by section 322(9) of the act begins when both of
the following have occurred:
(a) The petitioner provides verification to the department that a BAIID has been
installed.
(b) The department issues a valid restricted license to the petitioner.
(4) If a restricted license issued under section 322(6) of the act requiring a
BAIID is interrupted, the hearing officer may aggregate the periods of time that a
restricted license which included a BAIID requirement was actually operative to
determine whether the minimum period required by section 322(9) of the act has been
met.
(5) The manufacturer, installer, or service provider shall service an installed
BAIID not less than once every 60 days.
(6) The manufacturer, installer, or service provider of a BAIID shall submit a
report to the department if any of the following occur:
(a) Servicing of the BAIID indicates that the person has committed a major or
minor violation as defined in Rule 1a.
(b) Servicing of the BAIID indicates that the person whose license is restricted
under section 319(8)(g) of the act operated or attempted to operate the vehicle with a
blood alcohol level of 0.025 grams per 210 liters of breath or higher. For the purposes
of this subdivision, a person is presumed to have operated with a blood alcohol level
of 0.025 grams per 210 liters of breath or higher if the person fails to take any retest
prompted by the BAIID. This subdivision does not apply if either of the following
occurs:
(i) For a start-up test, a start-up test failure occurs within the first 2 months after
installation of the BAIID, or if within 15 minutes of that detection the person delivers
a breath sample that the BAIID analyzes as having an alcohol content of less than
0.025 grams per 210 liters of breath.
(ii) For any retest prompted by the BAIID, within 5 minutes of that detection
the person delivers a breath sample that the BAIID analyzes as having an alcohol
content of less than 0.025 grams per 210 liters of breath.
(c) A driver causes a manufacturer, installer, or service provider to remove a
BAIID without a written order from the department authorizing the removal. This
subdivision does not apply if a BAIID is installed within 7 days after removal in any
vehicle owned or operated by a driver whose license is restricted.
(7) A report shall be submitted to the department not later than 5 business days
after an event listed under subrule (6) of this rule occurs or becomes known to the
manufacturer, installer, or service provider. The manufacturer, installer, or service
provider may also submit a written report to the department of any other activity that may
violate these rules or a restricted license requiring use of a BAIID issued by the
department under section 322 or 319 of the act.
(8) A manufacturer, installer, or service provider shall submit a report required by
subrule (6) of this rule on a form and in a manner prescribed by the department and at
the same time shall provide a copy of the report to the person for whom a report is
required by subrule (6) of this rule.

aside or modified.
(12) If a minor violation is reported to the department, then the department
shall extend the period of time before another hearing may be held by 3 months and shall
extend the minimum period of time for the BAIID requirement by 3 months.
(13) After the minimum monitoring period defined in Rule 1a, all of the following
provisions apply:
(a) If a restricted license was issued under subrule (2) of this rule, the department
may order the removal of the BAIID only after receipt of verification from the
manufacturer, installer, or service provider that the person subject to using a BAIID has
operated the vehicle with no instances of reaching a blood alcohol level of 0.025 grams
per 210 liters of breath or higher. The person does not have an instance of reaching a

(a) If an override or override instruction is provided to a person using a BAIID or to
