DRIVERS LICENSE APPEAL DIVISION (DLAD)
Once a driver's license is denied or revoked
in the state of Michigan an evaluation by a substance abuse
professional is required before a valid license can be issued.
Usually, eligibility for re-application begins
within 6-12 months following the denial or revocation.
Before ordering that a license be issued to
the petitioner, the hearing officer shall require
that the petitioner prove, by clear and convincing evidence,
that he or she has completely abstained from the use of
alcohol and controlled substances, except for those controlled
substances prescribed by a licensed health care professional,
for not less than 6 consecutive months, unless the evidence
considered at the hearing establishes that a longer period
of abstinence is necessary. Such evidence includes any
of the following:
A "longer period of abstinence" could be as much as 12
months or more given individual circumstances.
IARC is approved by The State of Michigan to perform
