1Opinion of the Court
KIRSHBAUM, Justice.
Plaintiff, Benedict DuPuis, appeals the trial court’s judgment affirming the deci*2sion of the Colorado Department of Revenue (the Department) to revoke his driver’s license because he refused to submit to a chemical test as required by section 42-4-1202(8), C.R.S.1973 (1982 Cum.Supp.). Plaintiff contends that this statute violates constitutional guarantees of due process of law because it fails to provide expressly for a hearing on the issue of whether a driver actually refused to take a test to determine the alcohol content of his breath or blood.1 We affirm.
