to be suspended for a period of one year and Petitioner was required to comply with
the ignition interlock requirements as set forth in Act 63 of 2000.
5. A timely license suspension appeal was filed relative to the above and Your
Honorable Court scheduled an initial hearing for March 19, 2001.

APPELLEE 01-0131 CIVIL TERM
IN RE: APPEAL FROM SUSPENSION OF DRIVING PRIVILEGE
BEFORE BAYLEY, J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Bayley, J., October 24, 2002:--
Appellant, Stanley Shannon, filed this appeal from a notice of suspension of his
driving privilege for one year following his conviction on October 13, 2000, of driving
under the influence in violation of the Vehicle Code at 75 Pa.C.S. Section 3731.
Appellant seeks only to vacate that part of the order of the Department of
Transportation that provides:
As a result of your conviction for driving under the influence, you are
required by law to have all vehicle(s) owned by you equipped with an
approved ignition interlock system before your driving privilege can be
restored. If you fail to comply with this requirement, your driving privilege
will remain suspended for an additional year.
This court held in Commonwealth v. Mockaitis, 50 Cumberland L.J. 184
(2001), that the provisions in Act 63 of 2000, upon which the Department premised its
av
01-0131 CIVIL TERM
order on the use of ignition interlock, are unconstitutional.' Accordingly, we will vacate
that part of the order suspending appellant's driving privilege relating to the use of an
ignition interlock.Z We will affirm that part of the order suspending appellant's driving
privilege for one year based upon his conviction on December 8, 1999, for driving under
the influence of alcohol.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 2? day of October, 2002, IT IS ORDERED:
(1) The following notice of the Department of Transportation suspending the
driving privilege of Stanley Shannon, IS VACATED:
As a result of your conviction for driving under the influence, you are
required by law to have all vehicle(s) owned by you equipped with an
approved ignition interlock system before your driving privilege can be
restored. If you fail to comply with this requirement, your driving privilege
will remain suspended for an additional year.
(2) The suspension of appellant's driving privilege for one year for his conviction
for driving under the influence, IS SUSTAINED.
' Mockaitis is on direct appeal to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. It has been
briefed and orally argued. A decision is pending.
2The sentencing order on appellant's criminal conviction entered on November 28,
2000, contained a directive regarding the ignition interlock device as required by Act 63
of 2000. After this court declared Act 63 of 2000 unconstitutional in Mockaitis, an
order was entered by the sentencing judge on March 5, 2001, deleting the ignition
interlock provision in the original sentencing order. Accordingly, the Department of
Transportation cannot enforce the ignition interlock provision in its notice of suspension
of driving privilege of appellant pursuant to Schneider v. Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing, 790
A.2d 363 (Pa. Commw. 2002).

(Whereupon, the following proceedings
were held:)
(Whereupon, Commonwealth's Exhibit 1 and
Petitioner's Exhibits 1 through 3 were
marked for identification.)
MR. KABUSK: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
This is the case of Stanley Shannon versus Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation, Bureau of
?I
Driver Licensing, case number 01-0131.
This appeal was filed back last year and was
initially scheduled for hearing March 19th, 2001, and it
continued several times to allow the petitioner to appeal
the underlying criminal conviction. Apparently he informed
the Court that it's been resolved and apparently
unfavorably for the petitioner. Therefore, the Department
is ready to proceed in this matter.
THE COURT: Are you ready to proceed?
MR. HERSHEY: Yes, Your Honor.
MR. KABUSK: What's been marked as
Commonwealth Exhibit No. 1 is a packet of documents under
seal and certification. I've provided a copy to the
petitioner. Sub-exhibit No. 1 is official notice of
suspension dated and mailed 12/18/2000, effective

11/28/2000.
That notice informs the petitioner that as a
result of his 10/13/2000 conviction of violating Section
3731 of the Vehicle Code, driving under the influence on
12/8/99, his operating privilege was suspended for a period
of one year. Additionally, that notice informs him of the
requirement for the ignition interlock system.
Sub-exhibit 2 is a report of the Clerk of
Court of Cumberland County, convicted 10/13/00, seal
attached to the original, and on that DL-21 it does
indicate that the ignition interlock was required.
Sub-exhibit No. 3 is official notice of
suspension dated and mailed 10/25/93, effective 10/8/93.
Sub-exhibit 4 is a report of the Clerk of Courts of
Cumberland County, date of ARD 10/8/93.
Sub-exhibit 5 is an order of court dated
10/8/93, and sub-exhibit 6 is driving record which appears
in the file of the defendant, Stanley J. Shannon,
operator's number 16628724, date of birth 11/22/54, in the
Bureau of Driver Licensing, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I
move for the admission of what's been marked Commonwealth's
Exhibit No. 1.
THE COURT: They are admitted.
MR. KABUSK: And that is the Department's
case, Your Honor.

THE COURT: And the position of the
defendant?
MR. HERSHEY: Your Honor, we have three
exhibits to present to the Court.
THE COURT: What is the defendant's position
here?
MR. HERSHEY: On the exhibit or on the
argument?
THE COURT: What is he challenging?
MR. HERSHEY: What he's challenging is the
imposition of the ignition interlock requirement, Your
Honor. That's the only issue.
THE COURT: That is the only issue?
MR. HERSHEY: That's the only issue.
THE COURT: Does the Commonwealth agree I am
bound by the Commonwealth Court case?
MR. KABUSK: Which case are you speaking of?
THE COURT: I don't know them by name.
Well, first of all, I declared the provision
unconstitutional. So on that basis alone I have been
granting the relief requested. But there is an additional
Commonwealth Court case that I thought had bearing on this.
MR. KABUSK: It does. On the face of the
Department's documents, it doesn't look like it bears issue
because the initial DL-21 indicates that the ignition

interlock was ordered by the Court.
The Schneider case, which I believe is the
one you are referring to, is the case where it's not
ordered by the Court, and then the Department sua sponte,
on its own, imposes the requirement for the ignition
interlock. I believe that's the case -you're referring to.
THE COURT: It was. It was Schneider. Now,
was the conviction in this court?
MR. HERSHEY: It was before Judge Oler, Your
Honor.
THE COURT: So he initially ordered the
ignition interlock device. Did he ultimately vacate that
order?
MR. HERSHEY: He vacated it as part of his
order to modify sentence.
THE COURT: I think I have it together, but
I have to let you put your documents in. Go ahead.
MR. HERSHEY: Your Honor, what's been marked
as Petitioner's Exhibit 1, which has been shown to counsel
for the Department, is the original sentencing order
entered by Judge Oler, and it's been certified a true copy
from the record by the Clerk of Court's Office. We would
offer that into evidence. I should just note for the
purposes of the record the companion criminal docket is
00-484 Criminal Term.

What's been marked as Petitioner's Exhibit 2
is a certified copy of an entry of an order by Judge Oler
relative to the criminal case dated Mary -- I'm sorry, March
the 5th, 2001, granting the defendant's motion to modify
sentence in part, and that order speaks for itself. We
would move for the admission of that.
THE COURT: Any objection?
MR. KABUSK: No objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Two would be vacating the
interlock provision, is that right?
MR. HERSHEY: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Any further evidence?
MR. HERSHEY: Judge, we have as Petitioner's
Exhibit 3 a packet of documents from the Legislative
Reference Bureau, downloaded through their electronic bill
room, which is a history of Senate Bill 849.
THE COURT: You do not have to worry about
that here. I have already declared the law
unconstitutional.
MR. HERSHEY: Okay. Judge, the purpose of
this is because there is another constitutional issue that
hasn't been addressed by anyone that I've seen in a written
opinion that I would like to make sure it's just part of
the record.
THE COURT: You mean that would be

applicable to this civil proceeding?
MR. HERSHEY: Yes.
THE COURT: Have you shown counsel the
documents?
MR. HERSHEY: I don't know if he's had a
chance to review the whole --
THE COURT: What are you telling me this is?
MR. HERSHEY: The issue -- I briefed this
separately. Again, I have not seen this decided on any
order. Article 3, 1 through 4 of the :Pennsylvania
Constitution has special provisions within which outline
the manner in which a bill is supposed to be passed through
each House of the Legislature.
According to this legislative history, there
appear to be two problems with Act 63 under the
Pennsylvania Constitution. The first problem is that the
bill was so altered or amended on its passage through
either House to change its original purpose.
It started out as a restitution and identity
theft bill, and it morphed into something completely
different pertaining to ignition interlock. That is in
violation, we believe, of Article 3, Section 1 of the
Pennsylvania Constitution.
The second part of that argument is that
under Section 4 of Article 3 of the Pennsylvania

Constitution every bill shall be considered on three
different days in each House. The legislative summary
provided by the Reference Bureau suggested that did not
occur with Act 63 in its original forms, and I do not
believe this issue has been addressed ;yet by our
Commonwealth Court.
THE COURT: You are moving for the admission
of Exhibit No. 3?
MR. HERSHEY: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Any objection?
MR. KABUSK: No objection.
THE COURT: It is admitted. I am just
looking at the notice of suspension. Is the interlock -- I
see it. It is in the second paragraph. Okay. Anything
else?
MR. HERSHEY: Your Honor, just for purposes
of the record, since we did not in the original appeal
outline all of the grounds challenging the ignition
interlock, I would just like to indicate very briefly,
until we hear from the Supreme Court on Mockaitis, we
believe Act 63 violates procedural due process in the State
and Federal Constitutions, violates equal protection as
provided by the Federal and State Constitutions.
The statute is over broad because it
punishes constitutionally protected activity and is not

rationally related to any legitimate state interest. It's
unconstitutionally vague because it fails to give adequate
notice of results in arbitrary enforcement. So far these
issues have been resolved in favor of the Department at
least at the Commonwealth Court level. That's all I have,
Your Honor.
THE COURT: Do you have anything else?
MR. KABUSK: No.
THE COURT: The record is closed.
MR. KABUSK: Just to make sure that I had
Commonwealth Exhibit No. 1 moved into evidence.
THE COURT: You got it.
MR. KABUSK: Okay.

record.)
