When is a suspension or denial of a driver's license for a conviction of an Alcoholic Beverage Code offense effective?

• A. Immediately
• B. 7 days after judgment
• C. 11 days after the judgment is entered
• D. Upon filing the judgment

Answer: (C)

The timing hinges on giving proper notice and allowing administrative processing after conviction. The suspension or denial of driving privileges for an Alcoholic Beverage Code offense becomes effective 11 days after the judgment is entered, because that brief window ensures the court’s judgment can be transmitted to the licensing authority and the order of suspension can be properly processed and served. Immediate effect would skip required notice, and shorter or earlier dates (like 7 days or upon filing) don’t align with the formal judgment and notification steps.
