Administrative Driver's License Suspension

Administrative Driver's License suspension is a different suspension than you would receive if you are convicted of DUI in Liberty County, Effingham County, Bulloch County, and Glynn Counties and may apply before you go to court for your DUI.

If you are stopped and you refuse to take the requested State administered sobriety test or if you are administered the test and your blood alcohol level amounts to a "per se" violation, the responding officer is required by law to submit a report to the Department of Public Safety to start an administrative license suspension hearing. This hearing is separate from any criminal hearing (plea or trial) and is held by the Office of State Administrative hearings.
