Whenever the implied consent law can be invoked during the arrest process, the person’s driver’s license can be revoked immediately following any test failure or test refusal. The person is given a seven-day temporary license to drive before the revocation becomes effective.

The period of license revocation is as follows:

  • 90 days for a person with no qualified prior impaired driving incident within the past ten years and no other aggravating factor was present in the current incident;
  • Six months, if violator is under age 21;
  • 180 days, if person has had a qualified prior impaired driving incident within ten years;
  • Double the applicable period above, if the person was arrested with an alcohol concentration of .20 or more or while having a child under age 16 in the vehicle;
  • One year, if the person refused to submit to the chemical test of blood, breath, or urine; and
  • Cancelled and denied indefinitely as inimical to public safety, pending treatment and rehabilitation for a third or more impaired driving violation within a ten-year period.
