Which date best describes the effective date of a license suspension for an Alcoholic Beverage Code offense?

• A. Immediately
• B. Seven days after judgment
• C. Thirteen days after judgment
• D. Eleven days after the judgment is entered

Answer: (D)

The timing of a license suspension under the Alcoholic Beverage Code is based on a specific waiting period after the court has entered judgment. Once judgment is entered, the suspension takes effect on the eleventh day after that entry. This provides a brief window for notice and any necessary processing, balancing enforcement with due process. The eleven-day mark is the precise date prescribed, which is why it’s the best answer. The other options don’t fit because they either move too quickly or don’t align with the statutory timeline for when the suspension becomes effective.
