AI Summary
- Extends the deadline for mailing administrative review decisions from 8 to 14 days for alcohol-related offenses and from 22 to 28 days for drug-related offenses after issuance of the notice of administrative revocation.
- Clarifies that a respondent's license and privilege to operate a vehicle is administratively revoked upon issuance of the notice, with revocation remaining in effect unless the director rescinds it, rather than revocation only taking effect after review.
- Adds electronic mail as an acceptable method for respondents to submit written information to contest administrative revocation, alongside physical mail and in-person submission.
- Changes terminology throughout the statute from "reversed" to "rescinded" and from "sustained" to "affirmed" when describing administrative revocation decisions.
- Requires that if an administrative revocation is rescinded, the respondent receives a certified statement of termination first, with the license returned only if no subsequent alcohol or drug enforcement contact has occurred.
