Matteo v. Department of Motor Vehicles

Opinion

JENKINS, J.

This is an appeal from a trial court order directing petitioner Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to grant respondent Dominique Niki Matteo (Matteo) a restricted driver’s license based upon his compliance with Vehicle Code section 13352, subdivision (a)(3), as amended effective July 1, 2010, a date occurring after Matteo’s commission of a drunk driving offense but before his conviction for the offense.1 The DMV contends the order was based on an illegal retroactive application of section 13352, subdivision (a)(3), requiring reversal. We disagree and affirm.
