Notes of Decisions

   Vagueness

   Chapter 89 is sufficiently specific so that 75 Pa.C.S. §  1541(a) meets due process standards, and is not unconstitutionally vague. Meade v. Department of Transportation, 813 A.2d 937 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002).

§ 89.1. Purpose.

 The purpose of this chapter is to define more fully the requirements of 75 Pa.C.S. §  1541(a) (relating to period of revocation or suspension of operating privilege), by specifying what constitutes receipt of the driver’s license by the Department.

§ 89.2. Physical surrender.

 The physical surrender of the driver’s license at any of the offices of the Bureau of Driver Licensing shall constitute receipt by the Department on the actual date of surrender.

§ 89.3. State Police.

 The surrender of the driver’s license to any authorized member of the State Police shall constitute receipt by the Department on the actual date of surrender.

§ 89.4. Receipt by mail.

 The surrender of the driver’s license by use of the United States Postal Service shall constitute receipt by the Department on the date indicated by the postmark on the envelope in which license was surrendered.
