Implied Consent Law:

It is illegal in Nebraska to refuse a chemical test of blood, breath, or urine for alcohol. If you refuse such a test, you will be charged for a separate crime, and your driver's license will be suspended.

Nebraska Administrative License Revocation / Ignition Interlock:

The following information is valid before January 1, 2012:

Nebraska's Administrative License Revocation (ALR) is handled by the Department of Motor Vehicles. ALR states that the police can automatically and immediately revoke your driver's license if you are arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence). They will give you a temporary license, which is only good for 30 days.

You have the right to request a hearing to contest the revocation. Click here for the Petition for Administrative Hearing. You must mail your petition within 10 days of when the Notice of Revocation was served to you. If the results of the hearing are not in your favor, your driver’s license will be suspended for 90 days for a first offense DUI.

As of January 1, 2012:

A new ignition interlock system will replace the state's Administrative License Revocation procedures. When a person is arrested for a first offense DUI, his or her driver's license will still be immediately revoked. However, as a condition of bail, he or she will have to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in his or her vehicle.

Criminal Penalties for a Nebraska First Offense DUI:

Criminal Penalties imposed by the court are separate from those imposed by the DMV.

First time DUI offenders face 7 to 60 days in jail and a $400 to $500 fine. As a first time offender, you may be placed on probation, which means you would need to perform at least 120 hours of community service and pay a $500 fine.

If your BAC was 0.15 or higher, you may face stricter penalties.

As of January 1, 2012, drunk driving with a child in the vehicle is a separate criminal offense.

Nebraska SR22 Insurance:

If your Nebraska driver's license is revoked, you will need to file carry SR22 insurance for 3 years from the date that you are eligible for license reinstatement. SR22 insurance can be expensive, so you will want to compare competitive rates. You can do that by entering your zip code here:
