This bill, signed into law by the Governor of Hawaii, updates the rules for administrative license revocations affecting drivers arrested for alcohol or drug-related offenses. It establishes specific timelines for when a driver's license is suspended, setting a 30-day wait for alcohol cases and 44 days for drug cases unless a hearing is requested. The legislation also requires that the official notice sent to drivers include clear instructions on how to submit written arguments against the suspension and informs them that they cannot attend the administrative review. Additionally, the bill mandates that drivers with valid licenses at the time of arrest must install an ignition interlock device in their vehicles during the revocation period.
