The license deadline here
The MVD can suspend your license unless a hearing is requested within 30 days from the date printed on your notice. That deadline comes before your court date, and missing it can cost you the right to drive.
The rule is the same in Gilbert as anywhere else in Arizona: 30 days from the date on your suspension notice. The court date on your citation does not pause it (Arizona MVD, DUI suspension).
Newest Arizona change. Since September 12, 2026, more kinds of licensed counselors can give the treatment that lets an Arizona judge cut a first DUI jail term from 10 days to one. (Arizona HB 2573 summary)
