HRS §286-126

How long a license can be suspended or revoked

A court cannot suspend a driver's license for more than five years unless another law says so. If a court revokes a license, the person cannot get a new one until the court's revocation period ends.

The statute, as written — Period of suspension or revocation

Unless otherwise provided by law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall not suspend a license for a longer period than five years; and when a court has revoked a license, the person whose license was revoked may not apply for, and the examiner of drivers may not grant, a new driver's license until the expiration of the period of revocation determined by the court.
