GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. GUIDELINES STATEMENT
RCW 36.28.A.300 through 390, created the 24/7 Sobriety Program in Washington.
This program implements alternatives to incarceration for participants charged with, arrested
for, or convicted of, repeat offenses of RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504 and participants convicted
of first offense driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or controlled substances as
defined in RCW 46.61.5055. Independent studies of other states and jurisdictions note that
those agencies that adopt the core components of the program, which include swift and sure
offender sanctions, are changing the criminal justice system wherever they have been
implemented. Hallmarks of the 24/7 sobriety program include:
• Cost efficiency
• Reduction of jail and prison populations
• Enhancement of public safety, and
• Enabling more offenders to change self-defeating behaviors and stop re-offending
A 24/7 sobriety program for your city or county can:
• Emphasize offender accountability and reduce recidivism
o Reduce police officer call outs
o Reduce Court Docket
• Improve public safety within your community
• Support Target ZERO teams, DUI courts and drug courts
• Save criminal justice dollars and tax dollars by using defender-pay models and by
reducing jail and prison populations
The 24/7 sobriety program includes twice-per-day on-site breath alcohol testing, remote
electronic alcohol monitoring, and drug testing. The courts are given the discretion to order a
participant to participate in the 24/7 sobriety program as a condition of bond or pre-trial release
and may also order a participant to participate in the program as a condition of sentence or
probation.
WASPC is to establish a 24/7 sobriety program pilot project in three counties and two cities of
the state and to provide coordination among state, county, and municipal agencies. WASPC was
authorized to develop guidelines, and establish fees for the 24/7 sobriety program pilot project.
These guidelines are meant to assist courts, law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, probation,
city and county officials, and other entities, in the administration of the 24/7 sobriety program.

tobacco products. I WILL NOT put anything in my mouth 15 minutes prior to testing.
I understand that tests performed at another facility DO NOT count for this program; unless,
prior arrangements have been made with my Contact Person or their designee at my testing
facility. Unauthorized tests at another facility will be considered violations. If I must leave the
area, I will coordinate with my attorney and the 24/7 Sobriety Program testing facility to make
sure that the facility has the appropriate paperwork at least one week before I leave.
o REMOTE/MOBILE ELECTRONIC ALCOHOL TESTING DEVICES
I agree to wear a transdermal alcohol testing bracelet, i.e.; AMS SCRAM, BI TAD, or use a
remote/mobile electronic alcohol breath testing device, i.e.; Intoxalock eAlert ignition interlock

43
24/7 Sobriety Program
Revised July 1, 2014
I understand that the remote/mobile electronic alcohol testing device will, at pre-programmed
and/or scheduled intervals, test me for the presence of blood alcohol concentration that is
emitted as vapors through my skin or by breath. When the remote/mobile electronic alcohol
testing device detects the presence of alcohol, it will record, store, or forward a positive reading
and will transmit an alcohol alert to a designated testing center. The remote/mobile electronic
alcohol testing device also contains systems designed to detect interference or tampering and
will also record, store and transmit a tampering alert to the designated testing center.
I understand that tampering with the remote/mobile electronic alcohol testing device,
placement of material between a device and my skin, or any other interference with the taking
of samples and download of information will constitute a violation of this Agreement.
I understand that a remote/mobile electronic alcohol testing device may record a photo or video
image of me and transmit it via an analog or cellular signal.
If I am using a remote/mobile breath testing device, I WILL NOT consume or use any food,
beverage, gum, toothpaste, or tobacco products at least 15 minutes prior to testing. I will not
put anything in my mouth 15 minutes prior to testing.
I understand that my daily remote/mobile ELECTRONIC ALCOHOL TESTING device schedule will
be determined by my Contact Person.
I understand that I may be alerted to take random remote/mobile electronic testing samples at
any time.
o URINALYSIS/DRUG PANEL OR DRUG PATCH TESTING
I agree to follow the instructions and procedures of the court, test site officers, and equipment
providers when participating in drug testing. I agree that only test site officers may remove a
drug patch from my body. If I remove a drug patch that has been applied to my body, or I
attempt to manipulate a urinalysis, it will be recorded as a failed test and I may go to jail.
FEES
I will pay all user and participation fees set by the Participating Agency agreement for the testing I
have been placed on. I understand these fees may change while I am on the Program. The current
user, testing and participation fees are:
• $30.00 enrollment. This fee is not charged with a transdermal device because it is inclusive in
the activation/deactivation fee.
• $2.00 per on-site breath test
• $9.00 per day for a remote breath testing device.
• $10.00 per test for urinalysis plus the charge of laboratory confirmation on a positive
screening test.

deactivation fee.

I will pay my fees in advance or at the time of testing as determined by the test site and I will not be
afforded any credit. I also understand that I will be held responsible for any repair or replacement
costs for loss or damage to the testing equipment assigned to me that is not due to normal use.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
I agree to not participate in the following restricted activities, and understand that a violation of
any of these provisions constitutes a violation of this Agreement:
No Non-Prescribed Drugs—I agree that I will not possess or consume any non-
prescribed, marijuana, or other drugs, nor will I knowingly be present where other
persons are doing so.
No Alcohol—I understand that I am not to consume, use or possess any product
containing alcohol, including, but not limited to: alcoholic beverages, mouthwash,
medicinal alcohol, household cleaners and disinfectants, lotions, body washes,
perfumes, colognes, or other hygiene products that contain alcohol.
No Bars—I agree I will not enter any bar or other establishment where alcohol or
marijuana is offered for sale or consumption on the premises.
I understand that my Contact Person may use telephone calls, the alcohol/drug testing
equipment, software, monitoring centers, and personal visits to evaluate my compliance with
this Agreement. Therefore, when I am at home, I agree to promptly answer my telephone or
door. I further understand and agree that all telephone calls between my Contact Person and
me may be tape-recorded.
I agree to allow my assigned Contact Person or their designee the right to inspect and maintain
the electronic alcohol testing device and base station, if applicable, and further agree to meet
my assigned Contact Person or designee at the time and place requested for this purpose.
If I am unable to personally reach my Contact Person, I agree to leave notification on the
Contact Person's message service or by other documented means. I will include my name, date,
time, and the nature of my problem.
CONSEQUENCES
If the testing device or drug screening tool indicates the presence of alcohol, marijuana, and/or
drugs, I may go to jail.
I will not miss a test. A No-Show during my designated testing hours is a violation of the 24/7
Sobriety Program and I may go to jail.
Failure to pay will be considered a violation of my bond condition, condition of release, or
judgment and I may go to jail pending additional court action.
