Revocation

In Nebraska, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-498.01 has the arresting peace officer who submits a sworn report serve a notice of revocation on behalf of the director. If a chemical test shows an alcohol concentration specified in a separate section, the results were not available to the officer while the person was in custody, and that notice was not served, the director mails the notice after receiving the officer's sworn report. Either notice contains a statement explaining the operation of the administrative license revocation procedure.

In Nebraska, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-498.02 directs the director, once a set period after arrest expires or after a hearing in which the director finds the license should be revoked, to revoke the operator's license of a person arrested for refusal to submit to a chemical test of blood, breath or urine, or whose test discloses an alcohol concentration specified in a separate section. Except as otherwise provided in a separate section, a new operator's license shall not be issued to such a person until the period of revocation has elapsed.

In New Mexico, N.M. Stat. Ann. § 66-8-112 makes revocation effective a set time after notice of revocation or, if the person requests a hearing under the Administrative Hearings Office Act, on the date the administrative hearings office issues its order following that hearing. The date of notice is the date an officer serves written notice of revocation and of right to a hearing or, when chemical test results cannot be obtained immediately, the date the department's certified-mail notice is deemed served.

In New Mexico, N.M. Stat. Ann. § 66-8-112 lets the person whose license or privilege to drive is revoked or denied, or the person's agent, request a hearing in writing, accompanied by a fee or a sworn statement of indigency on a department form. Failure to request a hearing within the time the statute sets results in forfeiture of the right to a hearing.

In the District of Columbia, DC DMV's page on virtual hearings says drivers who have been served with a Notice of Proposed Revocation should request a hearing by the deadline listed on the form to avoid revocation of their DC driver license or privilege to drive in the District. The page says a hearing examiner takes testimony from the arresting officer and from the driver, then issues a written decision.

In Pennsylvania, PennDOT's driver manual states that when a driving privilege is going to be suspended, revoked or disqualified, a written notice is mailed listing the date the sanction will begin. The manual says the sanction starts on that effective date regardless of when a license or acknowledgment form is surrendered, that it may be appealed in the Court of Common Pleas (Civil Division) in the county of residence within a period measured from the notice's mailing date, and that all restoration requirements must be satisfied before the privilege is restored.

Deadlines, limits and penalty ranges are set by each state’s statutes, so this page does not state them. Each state page shows them with the official source and the date they were verified — or says plainly that a figure has not been confirmed yet.
