In the previous blog, I discussed Massachusetts General Laws c. 90 s. 22(a) (“MGL c. 90 s. 22(a)”). This statute allows the Registry of Motor Vehicles (“RMV”) to suspend a driver’s license without advance notice. This kind of suspension is based upon a finding that the driver is an immediate threat to the public. In addition to the power to issue an immediate threat suspension, the RMV also has at their disposal the powers granted by MGL c. 90 s. 22(b) (“c. 90 s. 22(b)”). This statute empowers the RMV to suspend a license in their discretion, provided that two weeks notice of the intent to suspend, and the opportunity for a hearing, are provided to the driver. Should the driver elect to request a hearing, as they typically do, they may challenge the impending license suspension at that time. http://bit.ly/1OYtFF1
