Is a suspended license required for a DUI conviction?

In the state of Kansas, a suspended license is required for a DUI conviction. Depending on the severity of the offense, the time of the suspension can vary. For a first DUI conviction, the license may be suspended for a period of one year. For a second or subsequent DUI conviction, the license may be suspended for a period of two years. A DUI conviction can also include other penalties, such as jail time, fines, community service, and/or alcohol education classes. Furthermore, the Kansas Department of Revenue will typically assess an additional administrative fee in order to reinstate the license after the suspension period has been completed. In addition, if a person is found guilty of a DUI while driving on a suspended license, a lengthier suspension period is likely to be imposed and additional charges can be applied, such as driving on a suspended license. Moreover, the person’s vehicle may be impounded and they may be ordered to pay restitution for any damages caused during the incident. It is important to note that all states have different DUI laws and it is best to consult a licensed attorney for legal advice and questions about DUI laws.
