• Abstract:
  Administrative license revocation (ALR) laws are based on objective chemical tests (blood, breath, or urine), similar to “illegal per se” criminal laws against impaired driving. Administrative license revocation allows police and driver licensing authorities to revoke the driver’s license swiftly, without long delays while waiting for a criminal trial, and protects the offender’s right of due process through an appeal system. ALR is similar to "implied consent" laws in states which automatically suspend a driver's license for refusing a BAC test. ALR automatically suspends the license for failing the BAC test.
