South Carolina State SealSouth Carolina Ignition Interlock Device Program Appeal Process

If the offender wishes to appeal the assessment of any Ignition Interlock Points (IIPs) by the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services (DPPPS) he must comply with the following procedure.

(1) The offender must timely file a Notice of Appeal (PPP Form IIDP-001) with DPPPS by mailing or delivering it to the following address:

SCDPPPS
Ignition Interlock Appeal
Post Office Box 50666
Columbia, SC 29250

(2) The Notice of Appeal must include a concise statement of the grounds for the appeal and, if desired, supporting documentation.

(3) The date of filing is the date the Notice of Appeal is received by the Department .

(4) The Notice of Appeal must be filed within fifteen (15) days of the date of the IIP assessment letter . Failure to timely file a Notice of Appeal will result in dismissal of the appeal.

(5) In order for the case to be processed by the DPPPS, a copy of the IIP assessment letter must be attached to the Notice of Appeal. Failure to include a copy of the IIP assessment letter will result in dismissal of the appeal.

(6) A DPPPS administrative hearing officer will review the appeal and will render a final decision either affirming or reversing the IIP assessment. There will be neither an evidentiary hearing nor oral arguments permitted, and there will be no right to appeal or otherwise contest the hearing officer's decision.

(7) If the point assessment is affirmed, it stands. DPPPS will notify the offender of the decision by letter. If the point assessment is reversed, DPPPS will remove the points from the APT and will notify the offender of the reversal and the adjusted APT by letter.

If removal of the points from the offender's Accumulated Point Total changes the specific responses under the IIDP Policy, DPPPS and its partnering agencies will make adjustments to those responses.
