The length of suspension that you face depends upon whether you refused the chemical test or whether you failed the test, whether this is your first test failure, and whether you are over or under 21 years of age. The time of suspension of driving privileges, depending on these factors, ranges from 30 days to one year. You have a right, however, to an administrative hearing in which you can challenge the grounds upon which your license is being suspended. If you are successful at the hearing, your license may not be administratively suspended at all. When you were arrested, the officer should have given you a pink form, called the DC27. As described on the back of that form, you must send a letter requesting an administrative hearing to the Kansas Department of Revenue within 10 days of the day you received the DC27 or your driving privileges will automatically be suspended.
