Section 13558 Of Article 4. Procedure From California Vehicle Code >> Division 6. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 4.
13558
. (a) Any person, who has received a notice of an order of
suspension or revocation of the person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle pursuant to Section 13353, 13353.1, 13353.2, 13388, 23612,
or 13382 or a notice pursuant to Section 13557, may request a hearing
on the matter pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 14100)
of Chapter 3, except as otherwise provided in this section.
(b) If the person wishes to have a hearing before the effective
date of the order of suspension or revocation, the request for a
hearing shall be made within 10 days of the receipt of the notice of
the order of suspension or revocation. The hearing shall be held at a
place designated by the department as close as practicable to the
place where the arrest occurred, unless the parties agree to a
different location. Any evidence at the hearing shall not be limited
to the evidence presented at an administrative review pursuant to
Section 13557.
(c) (1) The only issues at the hearing on an order of suspension
or revocation pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.1 shall be those
facts listed in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 13557.
Notwithstanding Section 14106, the period of suspension or revocation
specified in Section 13353 or 13353.1 shall not be reduced and,
notwithstanding Section 14105.5, the effective date of the order of
suspension or revocation shall not be stayed pending review at a
hearing pursuant to this section.
(2) The only issues at the hearing on an order of suspension
pursuant to Section 13353.2 shall be those facts listed in paragraph
(3) of subdivision (b) of Section 13557. Notwithstanding Section
14106, the period of suspension specified in Section 13353.3 shall
not be reduced.
(d) The department shall hold the administrative hearing before
the effective date of the order of suspension or revocation if the
request for the hearing is postmarked or received by the department
on or before 10 days after the person's receipt of the service of the
notice of the order of suspension or revocation pursuant to Section
13353.2, 13388, 23612, or 13382.
(e) A request for an administrative hearing does not stay the
suspension or revocation of a person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle. If the department does not conduct an administrative hearing
and make a determination after an administrative hearing within the
time limit in subdivision (d), the department shall stay the
effective date of the order of suspension or revocation pending the
determination and, if the person's driver's license has been taken by
the peace officer pursuant to Section 13388, 23612, or 13382, the
department shall notify the person before the expiration date of the
temporary permit issued pursuant to Section 13388, 23612, or 13382,
or the expiration date of any previous extension issued pursuant to
this subdivision, provided the person is otherwise eligible, in a
form that permits the person to establish to any peace officer that
his or her privilege to operate a motor vehicle is not suspended or
revoked.
(f) The department shall give written notice of its determination
pursuant to Section 14105. If the department determines, upon a
hearing of the matter, to suspend or revoke the person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle, notwithstanding the term of any temporary
permit issued pursuant to Section 13388, 23612, or 13382, the
temporary permit shall be revoked and the suspension or revocation of
the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall become
effective five days after notice is given. If the department sustains
the order of suspension or revocation, the department shall include
notice that the person has a right to review by the court pursuant to
Section 13559.
(g) A determination of facts by the department upon a hearing
pursuant to this section has no collateral estoppel effect on a
subsequent criminal prosecution and does not preclude litigation of
those same facts in the criminal proceeding.
