JONATHAN BURGE

Attorney at Law

Administrative

 

Administrative civil penalties affect your driver's license only.   The ADLRO does not just look at criminal convictions.  They look for "alcohol contacts".  An alcohol contact is either a criminal or civil conviction for DUI.  Therefore, even if you had won a criminal DUI in the last five years, if you lost at the revocation office, they will use that against you to enhance the current license revocation.

All of the States have an agreement.  Therefore, if your license is revoked in Hawaii, it is supposed to be flagged in other States.  If you had an out of State license and it is revoked in Hawaii, that license is sent back to the licensing State and they will honor Hawaii's revocation.  The ADLRO will usually count an out of state DUI against you.  Whereas the criminal side of the case will not.

License penalties are the same as they are for criminal offenses, but they take away registration for 2nd or higher offenses.
