If your license has been impounded because you refused to submit to a chemical test, these issues apply:

• Did the law enforcement officer have probable cause to believe you were operating a motor vehicle while you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
• Did you refuse to submit or fail to complete a test when directed to do so by a law enforcement officer?

If you submitted to a test and tested over .08 BAC, these issues apply:

• Did the law enforcement officer have probable cause to believe that you were operating or in the actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
• Were you operating or in the actual physical control of a motor vehicle while you had an illegal concentration of alcohol in your system?

To get your license back, you must provide reasonable evidence to show that the answer is “no.”

All relevant, competent evidence that a reasonable person would consider reliable, including hearsay, is admissible in an informal hearing. You may object to any evidence, and the Hearing Officer will rule.

You may request that the hearing be conducted under the rules of evidence as practiced in District Court. Neb.Rev.Stat. 27-101 et seq.

The Hearing Officer is an attorney appointed by the DMV to conduct ALR hearings. The Hearing Officer will preside over the hearing, administer oaths, examine witnesses, take testimony, rule on preliminary motions and all matters raised at the hearing, and recommend a decision to the Director. The Director may accept or reject the recommendation, and will issue a final order.

• If you cannot speak English, bring an interpreter.
• If you cannot communicate because of a disability such as deafness or muteness, please contact the DMV at least five days prior to the hearing.
