1. The Department may suspend the license
of a driver without preliminary hearing upon a showing by its records or other
sufficient evidence that the licensee:
(a) Has committed an offense for which mandatory
revocation of license is required upon conviction;
(b) Has been involved as a driver in any crash
resulting in the death or personal injury of another or serious property
damage;
(c) Is physically or mentally incompetent to
drive a motor vehicle;
(d) Has permitted an unlawful or fraudulent use
of his or her license;
(e) Has committed an offense in another state
which if committed in this State would be grounds for suspension or revocation;
or
(f) Has failed to comply with the conditions of
issuance of a restricted license or an ignition interlock privilege.
2. Upon suspending the license of any
person as authorized in this section, the Department shall immediately notify
the person in writing, and upon his or her request shall afford the person an
opportunity for a hearing as early as practical within 20 days after receipt of
the request in the county wherein the person resides unless the person and the
Department agree that the hearing may be held in some other county. The
Administrator, or an authorized agent thereof, may issue subpoenas for the
attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers, and
may require a reexamination of the licensee in connection with the hearing.
Upon the hearing, the Department shall either rescind its order of suspension
or, for good cause, extend the suspension of the license or revoke it.
