Municipal court is required to suspend the driver's license of a person under the age of 21 convicted of the offense of public intoxication.

• A. False
• B. Not required
• C. True
• D. Only with a prior conviction

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that underage alcohol offenses often carry mandatory penalties affecting driving privileges. When a person under 21 is convicted of public intoxication, many state laws require the suspension of their driver’s license, and the municipal court must impose that suspension. This rule exists to deter underage drinking and to protect public safety by removing driving privileges from those whose alcohol use is deemed unsafe. The requirement applies regardless of whether it’s a first offense, so it isn’t conditional on a prior conviction. That’s why this statement is true.
