In juvenile alcohol offenses, beyond imposing a fine, which license actions are required?

• A. Surrender of the license only
• B. License suspension for 2 years only
• C. Surrender of the license and MVD suspension for 2 years
• D. No license action

Answer: (C)

When a juvenile is found responsible for an alcohol offense, penalties extend beyond a fine to address driving privileges. The law requires both surrender of the juvenile’s license and an MVD (Motor Vehicle Division) suspension for two years. Surrender removes the physical license from use, and the MVD suspension blocks any driving privileges administratively for the full two-year period. This combination ensures the juvenile cannot legally drive during that time, which is why both actions are required. Options that involve only surrender or only suspension, or no license action, don’t fully meet the mandated consequences for juvenile alcohol offenses.
