Georgia Imposes a $150 Fee to Appeal License Suspension

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:06 pm by Kimbrell & Burgar, LLC

The Georgia Governor signed into law HB 1055, which mandates that persons charged with DUI submit a $150 fee to appeal any administrative license suspension (“ALS Appeal”). The ALS Appeal, associated with what had been known as the “10-day rule,” had previously only required that a person or his attorney submit an appeal within 10 days of arrest. Now, a substantial fee must also be submitted with the appeal within the same 10-day deadline.

This is a drastic change from previous law.
