The office shall not suspend a license for a period of more than one (1) year and upon revoking a license shall not in any event grant application for a new license until the expiration of one (1) year after the revocation.
History. Acts 1937, No. 280, § 31; Pope's Dig., § 6855; A.S.A. 1947, § 75-335.
Case Notes
A suspension that continues for nine or ten years is not temporary under anyone's definition and certainly exceeds the one-year limitation set out in this section. Sievers v. City of Fort Smith, 320 Ark. 136, 894 S.W.2d 940 (1995).
Suspensions in one state have the effect of precluding a driver from obtaining a license in other states; that is what happens in Arkansas, and recognition of foreign state suspensions is appropriate so long as those suspensions are effective for a fixed period of time. Sievers v. City of Fort Smith, 320 Ark. 136, 894 S.W.2d 940 (1995).
