request a hearing, pursuant to section 120.57(2), Florida Statutes, before the Division of Motorist
Services Hearing Officer. At this hearing, you would be given an opportunity to challenge the
conclusions of law and/or present written and/or oral evidence in mitigation of any proposed
penalty. A request for this type of hearing, in which no material facts are in dispute, should be
directed to the Division of Motorist Services Legal Office by checking the appropriate space,
marked as “1” on the Election of Rights form, and ensuring that the Department receives it
within 21 days from the date of your receipt of this Administrative Complaint.
2. If you dispute any material fact alleged in this Administrative Complaint, you must
present sufficient evidence of your dispute and you may request a hearing, pursuant to section
120.57(1), Florida Statutes, at the Division of Administrative Hearings before an Administrative
Law Judge. A request for this type of evidentiary hearing, in which material facts are in dispute,
should be directed to the Division of Motorist Services Legal Office by checking the appropriate
space, marked as “2” on the Election of Rights form, specifying the material allegations of fact
you are disputing -- a general denial is not sufficient -- and ensuring that the Division of
Motorist Services Legal Office receives it within 21 days from the date of your receipt of this
Administrative Complaint. If you elect an evidentiary hearing, you must keep the Division of
Motorist Services Legal Office informed of your current mailing address; failure to do so may be
considered a waiver of your right to an evidentiary hearing.
In the event you fail to file your election in this matter with the Department within 21
days from your receipt of this Administrative Complaint, your failure may be considered a
waiver of your right to dispute the alleged facts and the Department may proceed to enter a
Final Order based upon the allegations contained in the Administrative Complaint.
