AL Code § 13A-12-290 (2019) (N/A)
Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

In addition to any other penalty provided by law, the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency shall suspend for a period of six months the driver's license of any person, including, but not limited to, a juvenile, child, or youthful offender, convicted or adjudicated of, or subjected to a finding of delinquency based on, the crimes specified in Section 13A-12-291. If, at the time of conviction, adjudication, or finding of delinquency, the individual did not have a driver's license or the driver's license had been suspended or revoked, there shall be a delay in the issuance or reinstatement of the driver's license for six months after the individual applies for issuance or reinstatement. If the individual is ordered by a court to enter as a resident of an in-patient drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility, the suspension required by this section shall be effective immediately. If the individual voluntarily enters an in-patient drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility as a resident and the court approves the treatment either before or after treatment, the time in the treatment program shall be credited against any period of suspension required by this section. If ordered by a court to enter a facility, the individual shall surrender his or her driver's license to the court and the court shall destroy the license. The individual shall receive credit for the time actually spent in a facility if he or she is released by the facility because the treatment is complete or the facility certifies that completion is not necessary. The Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency shall be notified by the court within 10 days by mail, fax, or electronic means of the status of the individual's license.
