In 2011, the legislature has approved a new law that will no longer require that DUI defendants entering into a deferred prosecution have an ignition interlock requirement. This eliminates the statutory requirement for a two year ignition interlock license that was set by the Washington State Legislature in 2009. However, individual jurisdictions may still require DUI defendants to have an ignition interlock license, but they are no longer mandated to do so. More information on Washington State DUI law is available on the DUI Defense Practice Area page. Cristine Beckwith is an attorney in Tacoma, WA and defends the rights of those accused of felony and misdemeanor DUI.
