Chapter 7. 94C Drug Conviction - Alcohol and Drug Operating Under the Influence Pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90 Section 24, the RMV will suspend/revoke a customer's learner's permit/driver's license or right to operate after receiving notification from a court of a conviction for Operating Under the Influence (OUI) of alcohol or drugs. Multiple suspensions/revocations resulting from an alcohol-related violation will be served consecutively. This means a suspension generated as a result of a conviction for OUI will not begin until the suspension for refusing a breathalyzer is served in its entirety. Convictions, Suspension Periods and Reinstatement Requirements Suspension periods and reinstatement requirements vary by the number of prior OUI convictions a customer has on his/her driving record. The RMV must consider a customer's entire driving history when calculating an OUI suspension/revocation. The RMV will count all of a customer's OUI convictions and Driver Alcohol Education Program assignments, including convictions occurring out-of-state and in other jurisdictions, when determining the number of convictions and the associated suspension periods. The following table lists the suspension periods for the more common OUI-related convictions.
