The Government of Alberta has made some recent changes to the licence suspension portion of sentencing for impaired drivers. In a nutshell, the Interlock Program is now mandatory for at least six months for all persons convicted of an alcohol related offence. The only exception is for persons convicted of > 80 mg % for the first time and whose blood alcohol concentration is less than 160 mg %. In order to qualify for the exception, the driver must apply in writing and send in a copy of the certificate of analysis. Further details may be found here
