• Amended Convictions: See State v. Shaffer, 113 Wn.App. 812 (2002)
* Electronic Home Monitoring (EHM): For first time offenders, the court may impose electronic home monitoring in lieu of the mandatory minimum jail time. Courts may waive electronic home monitoring in writing stating the reasons therefore and facts relied upon. If EHM is waived, the court is required to impose an alternative sentence with similar punitive consequences. RCW 46.61.5055.
** Ignition Interlock Device (IID): Effective June 10, 2004, DOL shall require after any alcohol related violation of RCW 46.61.502, 46.61.504 or equivalent local ordinances; the court may order IID, setting a calibration level and duration. 46.20.720 (as amended Chapter 95, Laws 2004). For application in DUI Deferred Prosecution, see: RCW 10.05.140, which requires IID in a deferred prosecution of any alcohol-dependency based case. If the violation was committed while a passenger under 16 was in the vehicle, the court must order installation and use of IID for at least 60 days or extend a previously imposed IID requirement by at least 60 days; IID restrictions begin after any applicable period of suspension, revocation, or denial of driving privileges.

Violation of any mandatory condition requires a minimum penalty of 30 days confinement, which may not be suspended or deferred, and an additional 30 day license suspension. Chapter 95, Laws 2004 Courts are required to report violations of mandatory conditions to DOL. RCW 46.61.5055
