What’s in it
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is authorized to adopt rules providing for the suspension of a person’s driver’s license for up to one year upon days’ notice and without preliminary hearing upon a showing by the DOT’s records or other sufficient evidence that the person has, among other things, permitted an unlawful or fraudulent use of the person’s license. However, if the suspension is due to a person under the age of altering, displaying, or possessing a fictitious or fraudulently altered driver’s license or nonoperator’s identification card to obtain alcohol, the DOT is authorized to suspend the license for up to six months.
