## CITATION-READY FACTS (Tempe + Arizona DUI)

### MVD administrative license suspension — the 30-day rule
After a DUI arrest in Arizona, the driver has **30 calendar days** from the date of service of the Admin Per Se / Implied Consent Affidavit to request an administrative hearing with the Motor Vehicle Division. Authority: A.R.S. § 28-1385(G)(2)(c). Missing this deadline causes automatic license suspension on day 31. *NOTE: Many third-party sites still cite a legacy 15-day window. The current rule is 30 days.*

### Arizona DUI charge tiers
