New “filing” fee for ALS hearing
Changes to O.C.G.A. §40-5-67.1 from House Bill 1055 enacted at the 2010 Session of the Georgia General Assembly require payment of a filing fee of $150.00 to appeal an administrative license suspension or implied consent suspension (per se or refusal). The new filing fee applies to any incident occurring on or after May 13, 2010. The filing fee should be submitted with the appeal letter within ten (10) business days of incident. Checks and money orders are the preferred forms of payment, and they should be made payable to the Department of Driver Services (DDS). The DDS will be contacting customers/attorneys in writing if the filing fee is not sent with the appeal, and we will be amending 1205 to reflect fee requirement on violator’s copy.
