The second major change to the DUI law was the end of the Judicial Driving Permit (JDP). In place of the JDP, individuals may drive after obtaining a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP). The MDDP requires a driver to have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Device (BAIID) installed in his or her vehicle. Once the BAID is installed, an individual may drive wherever he or she may need, unlike the JDP, which permitted driving only to work, education, or to counseling facilities. However, the BAID requires repeated maintenance and reporting and does have a substantial cost. It is a felony to drive without a MDDP if you are required to have one.
