reasons stated on the record by a judge who dismisses the charges.
No fee shall be imposed pursuant to Section 14905 for the return or
reissuing of a driver's license pursuant to this subdivision.  The
disposition of a suspension action under this section does not affect
any action to suspend or revoke the person's privilege to operate a
motor vehicle under any other provision of this code, including, but
not limited to, Section 13352 or 13353, or Chapter 3 (commencing with
Section 13800).
13353.3.  (a) An order of suspension of a person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle pursuant to Section 13353.2 shall become
effective 30 days after the person is served with the notice pursuant
to Section 13382 or 13388, or subdivision (b) of Section 13353.2.

person has been administratively determined to have refused chemical
testing pursuant to Section 13353 or 13353.1, or the person has been
administratively determined to have been driving with an excessive
concentration of alcohol pursuant to Section 13353.2 on a separate
occasion, that offense or occasion occurred within 10 years of the
occasion in question, the person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle shall be suspended for one year.

occurrence, both the suspension under Section 13353.2 and the
suspension or revocation under Section 13352 shall be imposed, except
that the periods of suspension or revocation shall run concurrently,
and the total period of suspension or revocation shall not exceed
the longer of the two suspension or revocation periods.
   (d) For the purposes of this section, a conviction of any offense
in any state, territory, or possession of the United States, the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the

and shall develop, implement, and maintain a system for safeguarding

of allowing the person to apply for a license in his or her state of
residence.  The application shall include, but need not be limited
to, evidence satisfactory to the department that the applicant now

establishes that the person is qualified for reinstatement and no
grounds exist including, but not limited to, one or more subsequent

driver's license limited to travel to and from the activities
required by the program and to and from and in the course of the
person's employment.  After receiving proof of enrollment in the
program, and if the person has not been arrested subsequent to the
offense for which the person's driving privilege has been suspended
under Section 13353.2 for a violation of Section 23103, as specified
in Section 23103.5, or Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 of this code,

department to a committee of three members one each appointed by the

the decision.

the Code of Federal Regulations. The driver shall be allowed to
participate in a rehabilitation or return to duty program only once

subsequent positive test result or drop from the program to the
department on a form approved by the department.
   (2) If an applicant refuses to submit to a test for, fails to
comply with the testing requirements for, or receives a positive test
for a controlled substance, the department shall refuse the
application for a certificate listed in subdivision (a) for three
years from the date of the confirmed positive test result.
   (3) The carrier that requested the test shall report the refusal,
failure to comply, or positive test result to the department not
later than five days after receiving notification of the test result
on a form approved by the department.
   (4) The department shall maintain a record of any action taken for
a refusal, failure to comply, or positive test result in the driving
record of the applicant or certificate holder for three years from
the date of the refusal, failure to comply, or positive test result.
   (c) (1) The department may temporarily suspend a schoolbus, school
pupil activity bus, youth bus, or general public paratransit driver
certificate, or temporarily withhold issuance of a certificate to an
applicant, if the holder or applicant is arrested for or charged with
any sex offense, as defined in Section 44010 of the Education Code.
   (2) Upon receipt of a notice of temporary suspension, or of the
department's intent to withhold issuance, of a certificate, the
certificate holder or applicant may request a hearing within 10 days
of the effective date of the department's action.
   (3) The department shall, upon request of the holder of, or
applicant for, a certificate, within 10 working days of the receipt
of the request, conduct a hearing on whether the public interest
requires suspension or withholding of the certificate pursuant to
paragraph (1).
   (4) If the charge is dismissed or results in a finding of not
guilty, the department shall immediately terminate the suspension or
resume the application process, and shall expunge the suspension
action taken pursuant to this subdivision from the record of the
applicant or certificate holder.
   (d) An applicant or holder of a certificate may reapply for a
certificate whenever a felony or misdemeanor conviction is reversed
or dismissed. A termination of probation and dismissal of charges
pursuant to Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code or a dismissal of
charges pursuant to Section 1203.4a of the Penal Code is not a
dismissal for purposes of this section.
   (e) The determination of the facts pursuant to this section is a
civil matter which is independent of the determination of the person'
s guilt or innocence, has no collateral estoppel effect on a
subsequent criminal prosecution, and does not preclude the litigation
of the same or similar facts in a criminal proceeding.
13377.  (a) The department shall not issue or renew, or shall
revoke, the tow truck driver certificate of an applicant or holder
for any of the following causes:
   (1) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of a violation of Section 220 of the Penal Code.
   (2) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of a violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of
subdivision (a) of Section 261 of the Penal Code.
   (3) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of a violation of Section 264.1, 267, 288, or 289 of the
Penal Code.
   (4) The tow truck driver certificate applicant or holder has been
convicted of any felony or three misdemeanors as set forth in
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 5164
of the Public Resources Code.
   (5) The tow truck driver certificate applicant's or holder's
driving privilege has been suspended or revoked in accordance with
any provisions of this code.
   (b) For purposes of this section, a conviction means a plea or
verdict of guilty or a conviction following a plea of nolo
contendere.  For purposes of this section, the record of a
conviction, or a copy thereof certified by the clerk of the court or
by a judge of the court in which the conviction occurred, is
conclusive evidence of the conviction.
   (c) Whenever the department receives information from the
Department of Justice, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that a
tow truck driver has been convicted of an offense specified in
paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of subdivision (a), the department
shall immediately notify the employer and the Department of the
California Highway Patrol.
   (d) An applicant or holder of a tow truck driver certificate,
whose certificate was denied or revoked, may reapply for a
certificate whenever the applicable felony or misdemeanor conviction
is reversed or dismissed.  If the cause for the denial or revocation
was based on the suspension or revocation of the applicant's or
holder's driving privilege, he or she may reapply for a certificate
upon restoration of his or her driving privilege.  A termination of
probation and dismissal of charges pursuant to Section 1203.4 of the
Penal Code or a dismissal of charges pursuant to Section 1203.4a of
the Penal Code is not a dismissal for purposes of this section.
13378.  (a) Any applicant for, or holder of, a tow truck driver
certificate who has received a notice of refusal or revocation, may
submit to the department, within 15 days after the mailing of the
notice, a written request for a hearing. Failure to request a
hearing, in writing, within 15 days is a waiver of the right to a
hearing.
   (b) Upon receipt by the department of the hearing request, the
department may stay the action until a hearing is conducted and the
final decision is made by the hearing officer. The department shall
not stay the action when there is reasonable cause to believe that
the stay would pose a threat to a member of the motoring public who
may require the services of the tow truck driver in question.
   (c) An applicant for, or a holder of, a tow truck driver
certificate, whose certificate has been refused or revoked, is not
entitled to a hearing whenever the action by the department is made
mandatory by this article or any other applicable law or regulation.
   (d) Upon receipt of a request for a hearing, and when the
requesting party is entitled to a hearing under this article, the
department shall appoint a hearing officer to conduct a hearing in
accordance with Section 14112.
13380.  (a) If a peace officer serves a notice of an order of
suspension pursuant to Section 13388, or arrests any person for a
violation of Section 23140, 23152, or 23153, the peace officer shall
immediately forward to the department a sworn report of all
information relevant to the enforcement action, including information
that adequately identifies the person, a statement of the officer's
grounds for belief that the person violated Section 23136, 23140,
23152, or 23153, a report of the results of any chemical tests that
were conducted on the person or the circumstances constituting a
refusal to submit to or complete the chemical testing pursuant to
Section 13388 or 23612, a copy of any notice to appear under which
the person was released from custody, and, if immediately available,
a copy of the complaint filed with the court.  For the purposes of
this section and subdivision (g) of Section 23612, "immediately"
means on or before the end of the fifth ordinary business day
following the arrest, except that with respect to Section 13388 only,
"immediately" has the same meaning as that term is defined in
paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 13388.
   (b) The peace officer's sworn report shall be made on forms
furnished or approved by the department.
   (c) For the purposes of this section, a report prepared pursuant
to subdivision (a) and received pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 1801, is a sworn report when it bears an entry identifying
the maker of the document or a signature that has been affixed by
means of an electronic device approved by the department.
13382.  (a) If the chemical test results for a person who has been
arrested for a violation of Section 23152 or 23153 show that the
person has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in the person'
s blood, or if the chemical test results for a person who has been
arrested for a violation of Section 23140 show that the person has
0.05 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in the person's blood,
the peace officer, acting on behalf of the department, shall serve a
notice of order of suspension or revocation of the person's privilege
to operate a motor vehicle personally on the arrested person.
   (b) If the peace officer serves the notice of order of suspension
or revocation, the peace officer shall take possession of any driver'
s license issued by this state which is held by the person.  When the
officer takes possession of a valid driver's license, the officer
shall issue, on behalf of the department, a temporary driver's
license.  The temporary driver's license shall be an endorsement on
the notice of the order of suspension or revocation and shall be
valid for 30 days from the date of arrest.
   (c) The peace officer shall immediately forward a copy of the
completed notice of order of suspension form, and any driver's
license taken into possession under subdivision (b), with the report
required by Section 13380, to the department.  For the purposes of
this section, "immediately" means on or before the end of the fifth
ordinary business day following the arrest.
13384.  (a) The department shall not issue or renew a driver's
license to any person unless the person consents in writing to submit
to a chemical test or tests of that person's blood, breath, or urine
pursuant to Section 23612, or a preliminary alcohol screening test
pursuant to Section 23136, when requested to do so by a peace
officer.
   (b) All application forms for driver's licenses or driver's
license renewal notices shall include a requirement that the
applicant sign the following declaration as a condition of licensure:
   "I agree to submit to a chemical test of my blood, breath, or
urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol or drug content of
my blood when testing is requested by a peace officer acting in
accordance with Section 13388 or 23612 of the Vehicle Code."
   (c) The department is not, incident to this section, required to
maintain, copy, or store any information other than that to be
incorporated into the standard application form.
13386.  (a) (1) The Department of Motor Vehicles shall certify or
cause to be certified ignition interlock devices required by Article
5 (commencing with Section 23575) of Chapter 2 of Division 11.5 and
publish a list of approved devices.
   (2) (A) The Department of Motor Vehicles shall ensure that
ignition interlock devices that have been certified according to the
requirements of this section continue to meet certification
requirements.  The department may periodically require manufacturers
to indicate in writing whether the devices continue to meet
certification requirements.
   (B) The department may use denial of certification, suspension or
revocation of certification, or decertification of an ignition
interlock device in another state as an indication that the
certification requirements are not met, if either of the following
apply:
   (i) The denial of certification, suspension or revocation of
certification, or decertification in another state constitutes a
violation by the manufacturer of Article 2.55 (commencing with
Section 125.00) of Chapter 1 of Division 1 of the Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations.
   (ii) The denial of certification for an ignition interlock device
in another state was due to a failure of an ignition interlock device
to meet the standards adopted by the regulation set forth in clause
(i), specifically Sections 1 and 2 of the model specification for
breath alcohol ignition interlock devices, as published by notice in
the Federal Register, Vol. 57, No. 67, Tuesday, April 7, 1992, on
pages 11774 to 11787, inclusive.
   (C) Failure to continue to meet certification requirements shall
result in suspension or revocation of certification of ignition
interlock devices.
   (b) The department shall utilize information from an independent
laboratory to certify ignition interlock devices on or off the
premises of the manufacturer or manufacturer's agent, in accordance
with the guidelines.  The cost of certification shall be borne by the
manufacturers of ignition interlock devices.  If the certification
of a device is suspended or revoked, the manufacturer of the device
shall be responsible for, and shall bear the cost of, the removal of
the device and the replacement of a certified device of the
manufacturer or another manufacturer.
   (c) No model of ignition interlock device shall be certified
unless it meets the accuracy requirements and specifications provided
in the guidelines adopted by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
   (d) All manufacturers of ignition interlock devices that meet the
requirements of subdivision (c) and are certified in a manner
approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles, who intend to market
the devices in this state, first shall apply to the Department of
Motor Vehicles on forms provided by that department.  The application
shall be accompanied by a fee in an amount not to exceed the amount
necessary to cover the costs incurred by the department in carrying
out this section.
   (e) The department shall ensure that standard forms and procedures
are developed for documenting decisions and compliance and
communicating results to relevant agencies.  These forms shall
include all of the following:
   (1) An "Option to Install," to be sent by the Department of Motor
Vehicles to repeat offenders along with the mandatory order of
suspension or revocation.  This shall include the alternatives
available for early license reinstatement with the installation of an
ignition interlock device and shall be accompanied by a toll-free
telephone number for each manufacturer of a certified ignition
interlock device.  Information regarding approved installation
locations shall be provided to drivers by manufacturers with ignition
interlock devices that have been certified in accordance with this
section.
   (2) A "Verification of Installation" to be returned to the
department by the reinstating offender upon application for
reinstatement.  Copies shall be provided for the manufacturer or the
manufacturer's agent.
   (3) A "Notice of Noncompliance" and procedures to ensure continued
use of the ignition interlock device during the restriction period
and to ensure compliance with maintenance requirements.  The
maintenance period shall be standardized at 60 days to maximize
monitoring checks for equipment tampering.
   (f) Every manufacturer and manufacturer's agent certified by the
department to provide ignition interlock devices shall adopt fee
schedules that provide for the payment of the costs of the device by
applicants in amounts commensurate with the applicant's ability to
pay.
13388.  (a)  If a peace officer lawfully detains a person under 21
years of age who is driving a motor vehicle, and the officer has
reasonable cause to believe that the person is in violation of
Section 23136, the officer shall request that the person take a
preliminary alcohol screening test to determine the presence of
alcohol in the person, if a preliminary alcohol screening test device
is immediately available.  If a preliminary alcohol screening test
device is not immediately available, the officer may request the
person to submit to chemical testing of his or her blood, breath, or
urine, conducted pursuant to Section 23612.
   (b) If the person refuses to take, or fails to complete, the
preliminary alcohol screening test or refuses to take or fails to
complete a chemical test if a preliminary alcohol device is not
immediately available, or if the person takes the preliminary alcohol
screening test and that test reveals a blood-alcohol concentration
of 0.01 percent or greater, or if the results of a chemical test
reveal a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, the
officer shall proceed as follows:
   (1) The officer, acting on behalf of the department, shall serve
the person with a notice of an order of suspension of the person's
driving privilege.
   (2) The officer shall take possession of any driver's license
issued by this state which is held by the person.  When the officer
takes possession of a valid driver's license, the officer shall
issue, on behalf of the department, a temporary driver's license.
The temporary driver's license shall be an endorsement on the notice
of the order of suspension and shall be valid for 30 days from the
date of issuance, or until receipt of the order of suspension from
the department, whichever occurs first.
   (3) The officer immediately shall forward a copy of the completed
notice of order of suspension form, and any driver's license taken
into possession under paragraph (2), with the report required by
Section 13380, to the department.  For the purposes of this
paragraph, "immediately" means on or before the end of the fifth
ordinary business day after the notice of order of suspension was
served.
   (c) For the purposes of this section, a preliminary alcohol
screening test device is an instrument designed and used to measure
the presence of alcohol in a person based on a breath sample.
13390.  Notwithstanding Section 40000.1, a violation of Section
23136 is neither an infraction nor a public offense, as defined in
Section 15 of the Penal Code.  A violation of Section 23136 is only
subject to civil penalties.  Those civil penalties shall be
administered by the department through the civil administrative
procedures set forth in this code.
13392.  Any person whose license is suspended or delayed issuance
pursuant to Section 13388 shall pay to the department, in addition to
any other fees required for the reissuance, return, or issuance of a
