Implied Consent Cases

When filing an Implied Consent Petition, a petitioner may request a judicial stay of the balance of the driver's license revocation and license plate impoundment periods pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 169A.53, subd. 2(c) pending resolution of the Implied Consent Hearing. The judicial stay may be granted provided the petitioner meets certain criteria.

A request will not be processed until petitioner’s driver’s license record reflects the Implied Consent incident at issue, petitioner’s driving privileges are in a revoked status, and the Implied Consent Petition has been filed and assigned a district court file number. Attorneys may check whether their client’s license has been revoked by visiting the MN Driver & Vehicle Services webpage.

Requests are reviewed regularly to determine if it meets all of the criteria for consideration by the Judge.  If the petitioner’s request to stay the balance of the revocation period is denied, an Implied Consent Hearing will be scheduled immediately and the date of the hearing will be stated in the order.
