(c) Every plan shall specify monitoring by the probation department where the operator is subject to a period of either interim probation supervision or probation and may designate one or more alternative persons or entities, in lieu of the probation department, responsible for monitoring where an ignition interlock device has been:

1. (1) imposed pursuant to a conditional discharge; or

2. (2) imposed by court order in advance of sentencing requiring monitoring.

   An alternative person or entity may include but is not limited to the sheriff, police commissioner, district attorney, STOP-DWI coordinator, traffic safety board representative, Drinking Driver Program, Treatment Alternative for Safer Communities Program, or any other similar individual, agency, or organization. Nothing shall preclude a county from sharing monitoring resources, including equipment, with another county to effectuate the provisions of this Part.

(d) Every plan at a minimum shall:

1. (1) designate the persons or entities, or combination thereof, responsible for monitoring an operator's compliance with an ignition interlock requirement in cases where an operator does not receive either a period of interim probation supervision or probation; establish that where an operator is under either interim probation supervision or probation, the probation department selects the specific class and features of the ignition interlock device available from a qualified manufacturer in its region. The operator may select the model of the ignition interlock device, meeting the specific class and features selected by the probation department from a qualified manufacturer in the operator's region of residence;
2. (2) establish that where an operator has received a sentence of conditional discharge, the monitor shall select the class of ignition interlock device available from a qualified manufacturer in its region for any such operator. The operator may select the model of the ignition interlock device from within the class designated by the monitor from a qualified manufacturer in the operator's region of residence;
3. (3) establish that where an operator has been court ordered to install an ignition interlock device in advance of sentencing with monitoring, other than interim probation supervision, the monitor shall select the class and features of ignition interlock device available from a qualified manufacturer in its region for any such operator. The operator may select the model of the ignition interlock device from within the class designated by the monitor from a qualified manufacturer in the operator’s region of residence;
4. (4) in the event more than one qualified manufacturer does business within its region, the county shall establish an equitable procedure for manufacturers to provide ignition interlock devices without costs where an operator has been determined financially unable to afford the costs and has received a waiver from the criminal court. The equitable procedure should be based upon proportion of ignition interlock devices paid to each qualified manufacturer by operators in the county;
5. (5) through any available funding earmarked for such purpose, establish a distribution formula for probation supervision and/or monitoring purposes associated with this Part;
6. (6) establish a procedure whereby the probation department and any other monitor will be notified no later than five business days from the date an ignition interlock condition is imposed by the criminal court, any court approval authorizing reduction in breath sample as authorized by section 358.5 of this Part, any waiver of the cost of the device granted by the criminal court, and of any intrastate transfer of probation or interstate transfer of any case which either has responsibility to monitor. Such procedure shall also establish a mechanism for advance notification as to date of release where local or State imprisonment is imposed; and
7. (7) establish a procedure governing failure report recipients, including method and timeframe with respect to specific notification and circumstances. At a minimum the procedure shall be consistent with the provisions of section 358.7(d) of this Part with respect to applicable criminal court and district attorney notification of specific failed tasks and failed tests reports.
