How long is the suspension of the juvenile operator's license for alcohol offenses?

• A. 1 year
• B. 2 years
• C. 3 years
• D. 5 years

Answer: (B)

Two years. In Arizona, a juvenile who faces an alcohol offense loses driving privileges for a two-year period. This length is set to provide a meaningful consequence during the minor years and to emphasize the seriousness of underage drinking and driving. The suspension is handled through the court and DPS, and it ends after two years, at which point the juvenile can pursue license reinstatement per the applicable procedures. Shorter durations wouldn’t reflect the standard penalty, while longer terms would go beyond the typical juvenile penalty.
