ALS - Administrative License Suspension
If you have been charged with DUI you may only have ten days from the date of your arrest to appeal your administrative license suspension. An administrative license suspension, or ALS as it is commonly called, is a mechanism brought by the State of Georgia to suspend your drivers license for up to one year because of the circumstances of your DUI arrest. If you do not file your ALS appeal of your administrative license suspension within ten days of your arrest, your license will be suspended automatically.
