department, as the case may be, determines that it is necessary to do
so, the person with the appropriate non-English notice developed
pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 14100.
   (d) Upon receipt of the officer's sworn statement, the department
shall review the record.  For purposes of this section, the scope of

   (e) The person may request an administrative hearing pursuant to
Section 13558.  Except as provided in subdivision (e) of Section
13558, the request for an administrative hearing does not stay the
order of suspension or revocation.



13353.2.  (a) The department shall immediately suspend the privilege
of any person to operate a motor vehicle for any one of the
following reasons:
   (1) The person was driving a motor vehicle when the person had
0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood.
   (2) The person was under 21 years of age and had a blood-alcohol
concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, as measured by a
preliminary alcohol screening test, or other chemical test.
   (b) The notice of the order of suspension under this section shall
be served on the person by a peace officer pursuant to Section 13388
or 13382.  The notice of the order of suspension shall be on a form
provided by the department.  If the notice of the order of suspension
has not been served upon the person by the peace officer pursuant to
Section 13388 or 13382, upon the receipt of the report of a peace
officer submitted pursuant to Section 13380, the department shall
mail written notice of the order of the suspension to the person at
the last known address shown on the department's records and, if the
address of the person provided by the peace officer's report differs
from the address of record, to that address.
   (c) The notice of the order of suspension shall clearly specify
the reason and statutory grounds for the suspension, the effective
date of the suspension, the right of the person to request an
administrative hearing, the procedure for requesting an
administrative hearing, and the date by which a request for an
administrative hearing shall be made in order to receive a
determination prior to the effective date of the suspension.
   (d) The department shall make a determination of the facts in
subdivision (a) on the basis of the report of a peace officer
submitted pursuant to Section 13380.  The determination of the facts,
after administrative review pursuant to Section 13557, by the
department is final, unless an administrative hearing is held
pursuant to Section 13558 and any judicial review of the
administrative determination after the hearing pursuant to Section
13559 is final.
   (e) The determination of the facts in subdivision (a) is a civil
matter which is independent of the determination of the person's
guilt or innocence, shall have no collateral estoppel effect on a
subsequent criminal prosecution, and shall not preclude the
litigation of the same or similar facts in the criminal proceeding.
If a person is acquitted of criminal charges relating to a
determination of facts under subdivision (a), or if the person's
driver's license was suspended pursuant to Section 13388 and the
department finds no basis for a suspension pursuant to that section,
the department shall immediately reinstate the person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle if the department has suspended it
administratively pursuant to subdivision (a), and the department
shall return or reissue for the remaining term any driver's license
which has been taken from the person pursuant to Section 13382 or
otherwise.  Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 13558, if
criminal charges under Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 are not filed
by the district attorney because of a lack of evidence, or if those
charges are filed but are subsequently dismissed by the court because
of an insufficiency of evidence, the person has a renewed right to
request an administrative hearing before the department.  The request
for a hearing shall be made within one year from the date of arrest.

   (f) The department shall furnish a form that requires a detailed
explanation specifying which evidence was defective or lacking and
detailing why that evidence was defective or lacking.  The form shall
be made available to the person to provide to the district attorney.
  The department shall hold an administrative hearing, and the
hearing officer shall consider the reasons for the failure to
prosecute given by the district attorney on the form provided by the
department.  If applicable, the hearing officer shall consider the
reasons stated on the record by a judge who dismisses the charges.
No fee shall be imposed pursuant to Section 14905 for the return or
reissuing of a driver's license pursuant to this subdivision.  The
disposition of a suspension action under this section does not affect
any action to suspend or revoke the person's privilege to operate a
motor vehicle under any other provision of this code, including, but
not limited to, Section 13352 or 13353, or Chapter 3 (commencing with
Section 13800).



13353.3.  (a) An order of suspension of a person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle pursuant to Section 13353.2 shall become
effective 30 days after the person is served with the notice pursuant
to Section 13382 or 13388, or subdivision (b) of Section 13353.2.
   (b) The period of suspension of a person's privilege to operate a
motor vehicle under Section 13353.2 is as follows:

191.5 of the Penal Code, or of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of
Section 192 of that code, the person has not been administratively
determined to have refused chemical testing pursuant to Section 13353
or 13353.1, or the person has not been administratively determined
to have been driving with an excessive concentration of alcohol
pursuant to Section 13353.2 on a separate occasion, which offense or
occurrence occurred within seven years of the occasion in question,
the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended
for four months.
   (2) If the person has been convicted of one or more separate
violations of Section 23103, as specified in Section 23103.5, Section
23140, 23152, or 23153, Section 191.5 of the Penal Code, or
paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 192 of that code, the
person has been administratively determined to have refused chemical
testing pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.1, or the person has been
administratively determined to have been driving with an excessive
concentration of alcohol pursuant to Section 13353.2 on a separate
occasion, which offense or occasion occurred within seven years of
the occasion in question, the person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle shall be suspended for one year.
   (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a person has
been administratively determined to have been driving in violation of
Section 23136 or to have refused chemical testing pursuant to
Section 13353.1, the period of suspension shall not be for less than
one year.
   (c) If a person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is
suspended pursuant to Section 13353.2 and the person is convicted of
a violation of Section 23140, 23152, or 23153, including a violation
described in Section 23620, arising out of the same occurrence, both
the suspension under Section 13353.2 and the suspension or revocation
under Section 13352 shall be imposed, except that, notwithstanding
Section 13354, the periods of suspension or revocation shall run
concurrently, and the total period of suspension or revocation shall
not exceed the longer of the two suspension or revocation periods.
This subdivision shall not affect a suspension or revocation pursuant
to Section 13353 for refusal to submit to chemical testing or the
imposition of consecutive periods of suspension or revocation
pursuant to Section 13354 for that refusal.
   (d) For purposes of this section, a conviction of any offense in
any state, territory, or possession of the United States, the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or Canada
that, if committed in this state, would be a violation of Section
23103, as specified in Section 23103.5, or Section 23140, 23152, or
23153, or Section 191.5 or paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of
Section 192 of the Penal Code, is a conviction of that particular
section of the Vehicle or Penal Code.



13353.4.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b) of Section
13353.6, or Section 13353.7 or 13353.8, the driving privilege shall
not be restored, and no restricted or hardship permit to operate a
motor vehicle shall be issued, to a person during the suspension or
revocation period specified in Section 13353, 13353.1, or 13353.3.
   (b) The privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall not be restored
after a suspension or revocation pursuant to Section 13352, 13353,
13353.1, or 13353.2 until all applicable fees, including the fees
prescribed in Section 14905, have been paid and the person gives
proof of financial responsibility, as defined in Section 16430, to
the department.



13353.45.  The department shall, in consultation with the State
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, with representatives of the
county alcohol program administrators, and with representatives of
licensed drinking driver program providers, develop a certificate of
completion for the purposes of Sections 13352, 13352.4, and 13352.5
and shall develop, implement, and maintain a system for safeguarding
the certificates against misuse.  The department may charge a
reasonable fee for each blank completion certificate distributed to a
drinking driver program.  The fee shall be sufficient to cover, but
shall not exceed, the costs incurred in administering this section,
Sections 13352, 13352.4, and 13352.5 or twelve dollars ($12) per
person, whichever is less.



13353.5.  (a) If a person whose driving privilege is suspended or
revoked under Section 13352 or 13352.4 is a resident of another state
at the time the mandatory period of suspension or revocation
expires, the department may, upon written application of the person,
terminate the suspension or revocation for the purpose of allowing
the person to apply for a license in his or her state of residence.
The application shall include, but not be limited to, evidence
satisfactory to the department that the applicant now resides in
another state.
   (b) If the person submits an application for a California driver's
license within three years after the date of the action to terminate
suspension or revocation pursuant to subdivision (a), a license
shall not be issued until evidence satisfactory to the department
establishes that the person is qualified for reinstatement and no
grounds exist including, but not limited to, one or more subsequent
convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
that would support a refusal to issue a license.  The department may
waive the three-year requirement upon receipt of a program
completion certificate, as described in subdivision (c) of Section
13353.4, that has been duly issued to the individual.



13353.6.  (a) If the person's driver's license is a commercial
driver's license, as defined in Section 15210, and if the person has
not had a separate violation of Section 23103 as specified in Section
23103.5, Section 23152, or Section 23153 of this code, or Section
191.5 or paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 192 of the Penal
Code which resulted in a conviction, and if the person's privilege
to operate a motor vehicle has not been previously suspended or
revoked pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.2 for an offense which
occurred on a separate occasion, notwithstanding Section 13551, the
department shall, upon receiving the officer's sworn statement and
the receipt of the person's driver's license and after review
pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 13353.2, suspend the person's
privilege to operate a motor vehicle for 30 days, and then reissue
the person a commercial driver's license and endorsements with

   (1) The restricted commercial driver's license shall authorize the
operation of a motor vehicle only to and from, and in the course and
scope of, the person's employment.
   (2) The term of the restricted license is 30 days after the date
that the order of suspension is effective pursuant to Section 13353.3
until six months after that date.
   (b) The person may be issued an unrestricted commercial driver's
license after the term of restriction under this section.
   (c) This section applies only to the holder of a commercial driver'
s license who was not operating a commercial vehicle, as defined in
Section 15210, at the time of the offense.



13353.7.  (a) Subject to subdivision (c) and except as provided in
Section 13353.6 for persons who have commercial driver's licenses, if
the person whose driving privilege has been suspended under Section
13353.2 has not been convicted of, or found to have committed, a
separate violation of Section 23103, as specified in Section 23103.5,
Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 of this code, or Section 191.5 or
paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 192 of the Penal Code,
and if the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle has not been
suspended or revoked pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.2 for an
offense which occurred on a separate occasion within seven years of
the occasion in question and, if the person subsequently enrolls in a
program described in Section 11837.3 of the Health and Safety Code,
pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 23538, that person, if 21
years of age or older at the time the offense occurred, may apply to
the department for a restricted driver's license limited to travel to
and from the activities required by the program or to and from and
in the course of the person's employment, or both.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of law, if the person's restricted driver's
license permits travel to and from and in the course of his or her
employment, the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall
be suspended, subject to the restriction, for six months.  After
receiving proof of enrollment in the program, and if the person has
not been arrested subsequent to the offense for which the person's
driving privilege has been suspended under Section 13353.2 for a
violation of Section 23103, as specified in Section 23103.5, Section
23140, 23152, or 23153 of this code, or Section 191.5 or paragraph
(3) of subdivision (c) of Section 192 of the Penal Code, and if the
person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle has not been suspended
or revoked pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.2 for an offense which
occurred on a separate occasion, notwithstanding Section 13551, the
department shall, after review pursuant to Section 13557, suspend the
person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle for 30 days and then
issue the person a restricted driver's license under the following
conditions:
   (1) The program shall report any failure to participate in the
program to the department and shall certify successful completion of
the program to the department.
   (2) The person was 21 years of age or older at the time the
offense occurred and gives proof of financial responsibility as
defined in Section 16430.

department shall give notice of the suspension under this paragraph
in the same manner as prescribed in subdivision (b) of Section
13353.2 for the period specified in Section 13353.3, which is
effective upon receipt by the person.
   (5) On or after 60 days after the effective date of the restricted
license, and upon notification of successful completion of the
program, the department may issue an unrestricted driver's license to
the person.
   (b) If the court of jurisdiction in a criminal action arising out
of the same offense orders the department to suspend or revoke the
person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle or does not grant
probation after conviction of that offense, notwithstanding
subdivision (a), the department shall suspend or revoke the person's
privilege pursuant to the order of the court or Section 13352.
   (c) If the holder of a commercial driver's license was operating a
commercial vehicle, as defined in Section 15210, at the time of the
violation which resulted in the suspension of that person's driving
privilege under Section 13353.2, the department shall, pursuant to
this section, if the person is otherwise eligible, issue the person a
class C driver's license restricted in the same manner and subject
to the same conditions as specified in subdivision (a), except that
the license shall not allow travel to and from or in the course of
the person's employment.
   (d) This section does not apply to a person whose driving
privilege has been suspended or revoked pursuant to the order of the
court or Section 13353 or 13353.2 for an offense which occurred on a
separate occasion, or as a result of a conviction of a separate
violation of Section 23103, as specified in Section 23103.5, or
Section 23140, 23152, or 23153, which violation occurred within seven
years of the offense in question.  This subdivision shall be
operative only so long as a one-year suspension of the driving
privilege for a second or subsequent occurrence or offense, with no
restricted or hardship licenses permitted, is required by Section 408
or 410 of Title 23 of the United States Code.



13353.8.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, after the
department has issued an order suspending or delaying driving
privileges as a result of a violation of subdivision (a) of Section
23136, the department, upon petition of the person affected, may
review the order and may impose restrictions on the person's
privilege to drive based upon a showing of a critical need to drive.

   (b) As used in this section, "critical need to drive" means the
circumstances which are required to be shown for the issuance of a
junior permit pursuant to Section 12513.
   (c) The restriction shall be imposed not earlier than the 31st day
after the date the order of suspension became effective and shall
remain in effect for the balance of the period of suspension or
restriction in this section.



13354.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 13366, if (1) an abstract of
conviction is received by the department for an offense which
requires the department to restrict, suspend, or revoke the privilege
to operate a motor vehicle of a person after conviction or finding
of a violation pursuant to Section 13352 or 13352.  5, (2) there is a
suspension of that person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle
already in effect for refusal to consent to, or for failure to
complete, a chemical test pursuant to Section 13353 or a suspension
already in effect for driving with an excessive alcohol content in
the person's blood pursuant to Section 13353.2, (3) that suspension
is administratively final and resulted from the same arrest, and (4)
the sentencing court orders these restrictions, suspensions,
revocations, or a combination thereof to run consecutively, then the
restriction, suspension, or revocation resulting from the conviction
or finding pursuant to Section 13352 or 13352.5 shall commence after
the suspension already in effect pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.2
has terminated, except as provided in subdivision (c) of Section
13353.3.
   (b) Notwithstanding Section 13366, if (1) the department is
required to suspend a person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle
for refusal to consent to, or for failure to complete, a chemical
test pursuant to Section 13353 or to suspend a person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle for driving with an excessive alcohol content
in the person's blood pursuant to Section 13353.2, (2) there is a
restriction, suspension, or revocation of the person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle already in effect for a conviction or finding
of a violation pursuant to Section 13352 or 13352.5 which resulted
from the same arrest, and (3) the sentencing court orders these
restrictions, suspensions, revocations, or a combination thereof to
run consecutively, then the suspension for refusal to consent  to, or
for failure to complete, the chemical test pursuant to Section 13353
or the suspension of that person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle already in effect for driving with an excessive alcohol
content in the person's blood pursuant to Section 13353.2 shall
commence after the restriction, suspension, or revocation already in
effect pursuant to Section 13352 or 13352.5 has terminated, except as
provided in subdivision (c) of Section 13353.3.
   (c) The purpose of this section is to require that any suspension
under Section 13353 or 13353.2 and any restriction, suspension or
revocation under Section 13352 or 13352.5 resulting from the same
arrest are cumulative and shall be imposed consecutively, if so
ordered by the court.


13355.  The department shall immediately suspend the privilege of
any person to operate a motor vehicle upon receipt of a duly

law of such other place pertaining to the conviction is substantially
the same as the law of this State pertaining to such conviction and
that the description of the violation from which the conviction
arose, is sufficient and that the interpretation and enforcement of
such law are substantially the same in such other place as they are
in this State.


13364.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, a
person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended upon
notification by a bank or financial institution that a check has
been dishonored when that check was presented to the department for

subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 40508, the department shall take
the following action:
   (1) If the notice is given pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) of
Section 40509, if the driving record of the person who is the subject
of the notice contains one or more prior notifications of a

the conviction of such person of violating this code, such suspension
or revocation shall begin upon a plea, finding or verdict of guilty.

lighter penalty than would be given to an adult under similar
circumstances.


13368.  The department, as a condition to the reinstatement of a

one year from the effective date of denial or revocation, except in
cases where a longer period of suspension or revocation is required
by law.
   (2) Reapplication following cancellation under subdivision (d) may
be made any time without prejudice.



13370.  (a) The department shall deny or revoke a schoolbus, school
pupil activity bus, general public paratransit vehicle, youth bus

   (b) The department may deny, suspend, or revoke a schoolbus,

   (c) (1) Reapplication following denial or revocation under
subdivision (a) or (b) may be made after a period of not less than
one year from the effective date of denial or revocation.
   (2) An applicant or holder of a certificate may reapply for a
certificate whenever a felony or misdemeanor conviction is reversed
or dismissed.  A termination of probation and dismissal of charges
pursuant to Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code or a dismissal of
charges pursuant to Section 1203.4a of the Penal Code is not a
dismissal for purposes of this section.



13371.  This section applies to schoolbus, school pupil activity
bus, youth bus, general public paratransit vehicle certificates, and
a certificate for a vehicle used for the transportation of
developmentally disabled persons.
   (a) Any driver or applicant who has received a notice of denial,
suspension, or revocation, may, within 15 days of the mailing date,
submit to the department a written request for a hearing.  Failure to
demand a hearing within 15 days is a waiver of the right to a
hearing.
   (1) Upon receipt by the department of the hearing request, the
department may  stay the action until a hearing is conducted and the
final decision has been rendered by the Certificate Action Review
Board pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d).  The department
shall not stay an action when there is reasonable cause to believe
the stay would pose a significant risk to the safety of pupils being
transported in a schoolbus, school pupil activity bus, youth bus, or
persons being transported in a general public paratransit vehicle.
   (2) An applicant or driver is not entitled to a hearing whenever
the action by the department is made mandatory by this article or any
other applicable law or regulation except where the cause for denial
is based on failure to meet medical standards or excessive and
habitual use of or addiction to alcoholic beverages, narcotics, or
dangerous drugs.
   (b) The department shall appoint a hearing officer to conduct the
hearing in accordance with Section 14112.  After the hearing, the
hearing officer shall prepare and submit findings and recommendations
to the department.

of the hearing officer's findings and recommendations to the driver
or applicant and to the driver or applicant's hearing representative,
either of whom may file a statement of exception to the findings and
recommendations within 24 days after the mailing date.
   (d) (1) The Certificate Action Review Board consists of the
following three members:  a chairperson appointed by the director of
the department, a member appointed by the Commissioner of the
California Highway Patrol, and a member appointed by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
   (2) After a hearing, the board shall review the findings and
recommendations of the hearing officer, and any statement of
exception, and make a decision concerning disposition of the action
taken by the department, which decision shall be final.  At this
stage, no evidence shall be heard that was not presented at the
hearing, unless the person wishing to present the new evidence
establishes, to the satisfaction of the board, that it could not have
been obtained with due diligence prior to the hearing.



13372.  (a) The department shall deny an ambulance driver

   (1) Is required to register as a sex offender under Section 290 of

of the following apply to the applicant:
   (1) Has been convicted during the preceding seven years of any
offense punishable as a felony or has been convicted during that
period of any theft.
   (2) Has committed any act involving moral turpitude, including
fraud or intentional dishonesty for personal gain, within the
preceding seven years.
   (3) Habitually and excessively uses intoxicating beverages.

unsafe operation of a motor vehicle.
   (6) Within the three years immediately preceding the application
has had his or her driver's license suspended or revoked by the

vehicle, or, within the same period, has been convicted of any of the
following:
   (A) Failing to stop and render aid in an accident involving injury
or death.

or under the combined influence of intoxicating liquor and any drug.

   (C) Reckless driving, or reckless driving involving bodily injury.

regulation adopted by the Commissioner of the California Highway
Patrol relating to the operation of emergency ambulances during the
preceding one-year period.
   (12) Has committed any act that warrants dismissal, as provided in

   (c) The department may revoke or suspend the ambulance driver
certificate of any person who gives any cause, before or after
issuance of the certificate, for either mandatory or discretionary
refusal of certification.



13373.  The receipt of satisfactory evidence of any violation of
Article 1 (commencing with Section 1100) of Subchapter 5 of Chapter 2
of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, the Vehicle Code,
or any other applicable law that would provide grounds for denial,
suspension, or revocation of an ambulance driver's certificate or
evidence of an act committed involving intentional dishonesty for
personal gain or conduct contrary to justice, honesty, modesty, or
good morals, may be sufficient cause for the dismissal of any
ambulance driver or attendant.  Dismissal of a driver or attendant
under this section shall be reported by the employer to the
Department of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento within 10 days.



13374.  (a) Whenever the department refuses to issue or renew, or
suspends or revokes, an ambulance driver certificate for any cause,
the person involved may, within 10 days after receiving notification
of the action, submit a written request for a hearing.  Upon receipt
of the request, the department shall appoint a referee who shall
conduct an informal hearing in accordance with Section 14104.
Failure to request a hearing within 10 days after receiving a notice
given under this section is a waiver of the right to a hearing.  A
request for a hearing shall not operate to stay the action for which
notice is given.
   (b) Upon conclusion of an informal hearing, the referee shall
prepare and submit findings and recommendations through the
department to a committee of three members one each appointed by the
Director of the Emergency Medical Service Authority, the director,
and the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol with the
appointee of the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol
serving as chairperson.  After a review of the findings and
recommendations, the committee shall render a final decision on the
action taken, and the department shall notify the person involved of
the decision.



13375.  For the purposes of this article, any plea or verdict of
guilty, plea  of nolo contendere, or court finding of guilt in a
trial without a jury, or forfeiture of bail, is deemed a conviction,
notwithstanding subsequent action under  Section 1203.4 or 1203.4a of
the Penal Code allowing withdrawal of the plea of guilty and
entering a plea of not guilty, setting aside the verdict of guilty,
or dismissing the accusation or information.



13376.  (a) The department shall revoke a schoolbus, school pupil
activity bus, youth bus, or general public paratransit driver
certificate, and shall deny an application for that certificate, for
any of the following causes:
   (1) The applicant or certificate holder has been convicted of any
sex offense as defined in Section 44010 of the Education Code.
   (2) The applicant has, within the three years preceding the
application date, either been convicted of a violation of Section
20001, 23103, 23104, 23152, or 23153, or has his or her driving
privilege suspended, revoked, or placed on probation by the
department for a cause involving the safe operation of a motor
vehicle.
   (3) The applicant has, within the two years preceding the
application date, been convicted of any offense specified in Section
11361.5 of the Health and Safety Code.
   (4) The applicant has failed to meet the prescribed testing
requirements for issuance of the certificate.
   (b) (1) The department shall revoke a certificate listed in
subdivision (a), following an opportunity to challenge the validity
of the testing described in this paragraph, for three years if the
certificate holder has received a positive test result for a
controlled substance, as specified in Part 382 (commencing with
Section 382.101) of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations and
Section 34520.  However, the department shall not revoke a
certificate under this paragraph if the certificate holder is in
compliance with any rehabilitation or return to duty program that is
imposed by the employer that meets the controlled substances and
alcohol use and testing requirements set forth in Part 382
(commencing with Section 382.101) of Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
   (2) If an applicant receives a positive test result and has been
provided an opportunity to challenge the validity of the test, the
department shall deny the application for a certificate listed in
subdivision (a) for three years from the date of the confirmed
positive test result.
   (3) The carrier that requested the test shall report the positive
test result to the department not later than five days after
receiving notification of the test result on a form approved by the
department.
   (4) The department shall maintain a positive test result reported
under paragraph (3) in the driving record of the applicant or
certificate holder for three years from the date the department
receives the report.
   (c) (1) The department may temporarily suspend a schoolbus, school
pupil activity bus, youth bus, or general public paratransit driver
certificate, or temporarily withhold issuance of a certificate to an
applicant, if the holder or applicant is arrested for or charged with
any sex offense, as defined in Section 44010 of the Education Code.

   (2) Upon receipt of a notice of temporary suspension, or of the
department's intent to withhold issuance, of a certificate, the
certificate holder or applicant may request a hearing within 10 days
of the effective date of the department's action.
   (3) The department shall, upon request of the holder of, or
applicant for, a certificate, within 10 working days of the receipt
of the request, conduct a hearing on whether the public interest
requires suspension or withholding of the certificate pursuant to
paragraph (1).
   (4) If the charge is dismissed or results in a finding of not
guilty, the department shall immediately terminate the suspension or
resume the application process, and shall expunge the suspension
action taken pursuant to this subdivision from the record of the
applicant or certificate holder.
   (d) An applicant or holder of a certificate may reapply for a
certificate whenever a felony or misdemeanor conviction is reversed
or dismissed.  A termination of probation and dismissal of charges
pursuant to Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code or a dismissal of
charges pursuant to Section 1203.4a of the Penal Code is not a
dismissal for purposes of this section.
   (e) The determination of the facts pursuant to this section is a
civil matter which is independent of the determination of the person'
s guilt or innocence, has no collateral estoppel effect on a
subsequent criminal prosecution, and does not preclude the litigation
of the same or similar facts in a criminal proceeding.



13377.  (a) The department shall not issue or renew, or shall
revoke, the tow truck driver certificate of an applicant or holder
for any of the following causes:
   (1) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of a violation of Section 220 of the Penal Code.
   (2) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of a violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of
subdivision (a) of Section 261 of the Penal Code.
   (3) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of a violation of Section 264.1, 267, 288, or 289 of the
Penal Code.
   (4) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of any felony or three misdemeanors which are crimes of
violence, as defined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section
11105.3 of the Penal Code.
   (5) The tow truck driver certificate applicant's or holder's
driving privilege has been suspended or revoked in accordance with
any provisions of this code.
   (b) For purposes of this section, a conviction means a plea or
verdict of guilty or a conviction following a plea of nolo
contendere.  For purposes of this section, the record of a
conviction, or a copy thereof certified by the clerk of the court or
by a judge of the court in which the conviction occurred, is
conclusive evidence of the conviction.
   (c) Whenever the department receives information from the
Department of Justice, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that a
tow truck driver has been convicted of an offense specified in
paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of subdivision (a), the department
shall immediately notify the employer and the Department of the
California Highway Patrol.
   (d) An applicant or holder of a tow truck driver certificate,
whose certificate was denied or revoked, may reapply for a
certificate whenever the applicable felony or misdemeanor conviction
is reversed or dismissed.  If the cause for the denial or revocation
was based on the suspension or revocation of the applicant's or
holder's driving privilege, he or she may reapply for a certificate
upon restoration of his or her driving privilege.  A termination of
probation and dismissal of charges pursuant to Section 1203.4 of the
Penal Code or a dismissal of charges pursuant to Section 1203.4a of
the Penal Code is not a dismissal for purposes of this section.



13378.  (a) Any applicant for, or holder of, a tow truck driver
certificate who has received a notice of denial or revocation, may,
within 15 days of the mailing of the notice, submit to the department
a written request for a hearing.  Failure to request a hearing, in
writing, within 15 days is a waiver of the right to a hearing.
   (b) Upon receipt by the department of the hearing request, the
department may stay the action until a hearing is conducted and the
final decision is made by the hearing officer.  The department shall
not stay the action when there is reasonable cause to believe that

Section 125.00) of Chapter 1 of Division 1 of the Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations.
   (ii) The denial of certification for an ignition interlock device
in another state was due to a failure of an ignition interlock device
to meet the standards adopted by the regulation set forth in clause
(i), specifically Sections 1 and 2 of the model specification for
breath alcohol ignition interlock devices, as published by notice in
the Federal Register, Vol. 57, No. 67, Tuesday, April 7, 1992, on

suspension or revocation.  This shall include the alternatives
available for early license reinstatement with the installation of an
ignition interlock device and shall be accompanied by a toll-free
telephone number for each manufacturer of a certified ignition
interlock device.  Information regarding approved installation
locations shall be provided to drivers by manufacturers with ignition
interlock devices that have been certified in accordance with this
section.
   (2) A "Verification of Installation" to be returned to the
department by the reinstating offender upon application for

pay.



13388.  (a)  If a peace officer lawfully detains a person under 21
years of age who is driving a motor vehicle, and the officer has
reasonable cause to believe that the person is in violation of
Section 23136, the officer shall request that the person take a
preliminary alcohol screening test to determine the presence of
alcohol in the person, if a preliminary alcohol screening test device
is immediately available.  If a preliminary alcohol screening test
device is not immediately available, the officer may request the
person to submit to chemical testing of his or her blood, breath, or
urine, conducted pursuant to Section 23612.

paragraph, "immediately" means on or before the end of the fifth
ordinary business day after the notice of order of suspension was
served.

subject to civil penalties.  Those civil penalties shall be
administered by the department through the civil administrative
procedures set forth in this code.
