Section 14-137a-8 - Suspension. Hearing(a) When the holder of an operator's license is convicted of a motor vehicle violation which raises his or her point total above ten (10) points, the commissioner shall give notice that his or her operator's license is suspended for a period of thirty (30) days, effective as of a date certain. Prior to such effective date, the license holder may request a hearing, but such hearing shall be limited to the issues of the identity of such licensee, and that such licensee has in fact accumulated more than ten points within a twenty-four (24) month period.(b) When a person, having had his or her operator's license suspended for thirty (30) days in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, is convicted of a motor vehicle violation which again raises his or her point total above ten (10) points within five (5) years of the beginning of any such thirty (30) day suspension, as shown by the driving record maintained by the commissioner, such person shall have his or her operator's license suspended by the commissioner until his or her point total is reduced to or below ten (10) points. Prior to the imposition of such suspension, such person may request a hearing, but such hearing shall be limited to the issues of the identity of the licensee, that such licensee has in fact had his or her operator's license suspended previously under subsection (a) of this section, and that such licensee has been convicted of a violation(s) which again raises his or her point total above ten (10) points.(c) All points shall be added to a person's point assessment as of the date that such person is convicted of a violation. A "conviction" shall be as defined in Section 14-1(a) (16) of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended. At any hearing held in accordance with this section, an entry on the certified driving history of the person showing the offense charged, the date of such offense, and the date of conviction of such offense, shall be accepted in evidence as sufficient proof of conviction of the person, unless such entry is contested by the person by the introduction of competent evidence that such entry is erroneous.Conn.
