Failure to render timely decision (Repealed)

(a) If the hearing officer fails to render a decision after a hearing within thirty (30) days from the date of the notice of arrest to such person or, if a continuance has been granted, within forty-five (45) days from the date of the notice of arrest to such person, the commissioner shall reinstate such person's Connecticut operator's license or privilege by mailing to the person by first class mail a reinstatement notice. (b) Notwithstanding the reinstatement notice and return of any operator's license in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, the hearing officer may render a decision not later than thirty-two (32) days from the date of the notice to the person of his arrest, or if a continuance is granted, not later than forty-seven (47) days from the date of the notice to the person of his arrest, suspending the person's Connecticut operator's license or privilege. In such event the commissioner shall notify the person by first class mail of the decision and suspension, and request surrender of any Connecticut operator's license previously returned to the person. The suspension notice shall indicate a date certain for the beginning of the suspension.
