e) When the prosecution agrees to a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a charge of a violation of this

section in satisfaction of, or as a substitute for, an original charge of a violation of

Section 14601.2, and the court accepts that plea, except, in the interest of justice, when the court finds it would be inappropriate, the court shall, pursuant to

Section 23575, require the person convicted, in addition to any other requirements, to install a certified ignition interlock device on any vehicle that the person owns or operates for a period not to exceed three years. (

f) This

section also applies to the operation of an off-highway motor vehicle on those lands to which the Chappie-Z’berg Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Law of 1971 (Division 16.5 (commencing with

Section 38000)) applies as to off-highway motor vehicles, as described in
