What is the term for the administrative process of license suspension due to a DUI arrest in Kentucky?

The term "Administrative Per Se" refers to the process in Kentucky where a driver's license is suspended automatically following a DUI arrest, provided that the individual failed a breath or blood test, or refused to submit to testing. This administrative action is separate from any criminal charges that may arise from the DUI and operates under the principle that operating a vehicle is a privilege subject to certain conditions, including compliance with testing for alcohol or drugs.

The key aspect of Administrative Per Se is its immediate effect on driver's licenses without the need for a court hearing. The suspension can take place within a very short time frame following the arrest, typically 45 days, if the aforementioned conditions are met. This process underscores the state's commitment to ensuring that drivers who are suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence face swift and decisive administrative consequences to promote safety on the roads.

The other options, while related to DUI statutes and processes, do not directly represent the specific administrative process that results from an arrest under the DUI laws in Kentucky.
