Georgia DUI Law Statute: 
 40-5-67 G
CODE SECTION   12/03/01
  
  40-5-67.
 (a) Whenever any resident or nonresident person is charged with
  violating Code Section 40-6-391, the law enforcement officer shall
  take the driver’s license of the person so charged.  The driver’s
  license shall be attached to the court’s copy of the uniform traffic
  citation and complaint form and shall be forwarded to the court
  having jurisdiction of the offense.  A copy of the uniform traffic
  citation and complaint form shall be forwarded, within ten days of
  issue, to the department.  Taking the driver’s license as required
  in this Code section shall not prohibit any law enforcement officer
  or agency from requiring any cash bond authorized by Article 1 of
  Chapter 6 of Title 17.
  
  (b) At the time the law enforcement officer takes the driver’s
  license, the officer shall issue a temporary driving permit to the
  person as follows:
  
    (1) If the driver refuses to submit to a test or tests to
    determine the presence of alcohol or drugs as required in Code
    Section 40-5-55, the officer shall issue a 30 day temporary
    driving permit;
  
    (2) If the driver’s license is required to be suspended under Code
    Section 40-5-67.1, the officer shall issue a 30 day temporary
    driving permit; or
  
    (3) If the test or tests administered pursuant to Code Section
    40-5-55 indicate an alcohol concentration in violation of Code
    Section 40-6-391 but less than the level for an administrative
    suspension of the license under subsection (c) of Code Section
    40-5-67.1, the officer shall issue a 180 day temporary driving
    permit.
  
  This temporary driving permit shall be valid for the stated period
  or until the person’s driving privilege is suspended or revoked
  under any provision of this title.  The department, at its sole
  discretion, may delay the expiration date of the temporary driving
  permit, but in no event shall this delay extend beyond the date when
  such person’s driving privilege is suspended or revoked under any
  provision of this title.  The department shall by rules and
  regulations establish the conditions under which the expiration of
  the temporary permit may be delayed.
  
    (c)(1) If the person is convicted of violating or enters a plea of
    nolo contendere to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391,
    the court shall, within ten days, forward the person’s driver’s
    license and the record of the disposition of the case to the
    department.  At this time, the court shall also require the person
    to surrender the temporary driving permit issued pursuant to
    subsection (b) of this Code section.
  
    (2) If the person is not convicted of violating and does not enter
    a plea of nolo contendere to a charge of violating Code Section
    40-6-391, and the court is in possession of the driver’s license,
    the court shall return the driver’s license to the person unless
    the license is in suspension for any other offense, in which case
    the court shall forward the license to the department for
    disposition.
