COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Respondent APPEAL FROM SUSPENSION OF OPERATOR'S LICENSE PRIVILEGES APPEAL FROM SUSPENSION OF OPERATOR'S JLlCENSE PRlVILEGES TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF SAID COURT: AND NOW, this 10th day of May, 2001, comes the Petitioner, Christopher A. Wright, by his attorney, G. Patrick O'Connor, Esquire, and presents the following appeal: 1, The Petitioner, Christopher A. Wright, is an adult individual residing at 1714 Cornell Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011. 2. Petitioner currently possesses Pennsylvania driver's license 25680271. 3. The Petitioner has been notified by the Department of Transportation that, effective June 6, 2001, his operator's license privilege is being suspended for a period of one (1) year as a result of an alleged violation of Section 6308 (offenses related to alcohol) Driving While Registration Suspended/Revoked, on January 29,2000, A copy of said notice is attached as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference. 4. Said suspension of Petitioner's driver's license is improper and illegal for the following reasons: J.., -:.,'__1,'''',,",," _n, C ~ ~ "'I' ~ " [' , I~"II , ' '>- 'w"' o " " o a. The Petitioner pleaded guilty to violation of 18 Pa.C.S. ~6308; PURCHASE, CONSUMPTION, POSSESSION OR TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUOR OR MALT OR BREWED BEVERAGES in February of2000. The Respondent failed to impose the suspension within a reasonable time after receiving a record of the conviction of the Petitioner, b. The Petitioner relied, to his detriment, on the belief that no suspension would be imposed after waiting for a reasonable time. c. The Respondent's unreasonable delay in issuing the suspension was no the fault of the Petitioner, but was the fault of the Respondent. 5, In the event that the said suspension is not invalid and illegal due to unreasonable delay, it is invalid and illegal because it was the Petitioner's first offense, Section 1532(d)(1) of the Motor Vehicle Code mandates that, for a first offense, the department shall impose a suspension for a period of 90 days. WHEREFORE, PURSUANT TO 75 P.S. Section 1550, the Petitioner prays that this matter be set for a hearing de novo before Your Honorable Court and that the Orders of the Department of Transportation be set aside. .

The Department of Transportation is 11 represented by George Kabusk, Esquire, Mr. Kabusk, 12 MR, KABUSK: Good morning, Your Honor, This 13 is an appeal of a one-year suspension imposed pursuant to 14 Section 1532(d) of the Vehicle Code as a result of the 15 Petitioner's violation and conviction of an underage 16 drinking offense, What has been marked as Commonwealth's 17 Exhibit No, 1 is under seal and certification, and I 18 provided a copy of that to Mr, O'Connor, If I may hand 19 that up to Your Honor so that you may follow along. 20 THE COURT: All right. 21 MR, KABUSK: Commonwealth's Exhibit NO.1 22 consists of five subexhibits. Subexhibit No. 1 is official 23 notice of suspension dated and mailed 4/10 of '01, 24 effective 6/6 of '01, And that Subexhibit No, 1 is the 25 notice of suspension that is at issue today. That notice 3 17 ~_11 .- ,----'.H" -~, "I" ]'- - ~'",,'"," '~" -. n () . . 1 dated April 10th, 2001, to the licensee, Christopher A, 2 Wright, 25680271, informs Mr. Wright that as a result of 3 his violation on 1/29 of 2000 of violating Section 6308, 4 offenses related to alcohol, his driving privilege is being 5 suspended for a period of one year, as mandated by Section 6 1532(d) of the Vehicle Code, 7 Subexhibit No, 2 is a report of a court 8 ordering the suspension of operating privileges as the 9 result of a violation of Chapter 63 of Title 18, dated 10 1/29/2000; date of conviction, 2/29 of 2000; date 11 certified, 3/22 of '01, seal attached to the original, 12 Your Honor, I turn your attention to that 13 Subexhibit, Subexhibit 2, the name is Christopher A, 14 Wright, The date of violation is 1/29 of 2000. Date of 15 disposition is 2/29 of 2000 for a conviction of 18 Pa, C,S, 16 6308. And I would turn your attention down to the bottom, 17 The date it was certified is 3/22 of '01, And then I would 18 refer you back to Subexhibit No, 1, The Department's 19 notice is dated April 10th of 2001, 20 I'm bringing this to your attention because 21 the Petitioner alleges there's a delay, and certainly the 22 Department acted in a timely fashion, It received it 23 certainly after 3/22 of '01, and sent out the notice of 24 suspension April 10th of 2001, That's less than a month. 25 THE COURT: You're saying, the district 4 /<( - -'!~ " "c"Y'"~ .~'" 'I" '-'1 ~-.- '" ~ ~ :"'," "'-"" r, " / () . . 1 justice didn't send this to the Department immediately? 2 MR, KABUSK: That is correct, And that's 3 indicated, because the date certified is 3/22 of '01, 4 Apparently the district justice certified it approximately 5 a year after the date of disposition, 6 THE COURT: All right, I think another 7 issue-- I'm sorry, Go ahead, Mr. Kabusk, 8 MR. KABUSK: And I'm bringing that to the 9 Court's attention because it was brought up in the 10 petition, Subexhibit No, 3 is official notice of 11 suspension dated and mailed 2/23 of '01, effective 3/30/01, 12 informing the petitioner that as a result of his violation 13 on 11/11/2000, violating Section 6308, offenses related to 14 alcohol, his driving privilege was being suspended for a 15 period of 90 days, as mandated by Section 1532(d) of the 16 Vehicle Code, 17 Subexhibit 4 is report of court ordering 18 suspension of operating privilege as the result of a 19 violation of Chapter 63 of Title 18, 11/11/2000, seal 20 attached to the original. I would turn your attention to 21 that, Your Honor. Subexhibit No, 4 indicating the name, 22 Christopher Wright; violation of conviction of 18 Pa, C,S. 23 6308; date of violation, 11/11/2000; date of disposition, 24 2/2 of 2001; date certified is 2/2 of '01, You would 25 notice that the Department's notice once again was less 5 {q '(J.~; _,-".^,C~' m _" ,,,-- I.:' - 1 -f'''''l ~ , ,'~ 'C~ ~ " , 0 0 1 than a month, and it was dated, referring to Subexhibit 3, 2 informing the Petitioner by notice dated February 23rd of 3 2001, of his 90-day suspension, 4 And Subexhibit 5 is a driving record which 5 appears in the file of the Defendant, Christopher A, 6 Wright, operator's number 25680271, date of birth, 7 3/19/1981, in the Bureau of Driving Licensing, Harrisburg, 8 Pennsylvania, 9 THE COURT: So you're saying that there are 10 actually two convictions for this offense, one resulting in 11 a 90-day suspension and one in a one-year suspension? 12 MR, KABUSK: I'm saying, there is two 13 convictions of a violation of Section 6308, Those were 14 different dates of violations, Therefore, there were two 15 offenses, 16 THE COURT: And that's why this suspension 17 is one year as opposed to 90 days? 18 MR, KABUSK: That is correct, Your Honor, 19 And I'm referring to Section 1532 (d) of the Vehicle Code 20 which states, the Department shall suspend the operating 21 privilege of any person upon receiving a certified record 22 of the drivers conviction, and then goes on, adjudication 23 of delinquency or admission into a preadjudication program 24 for violation under 18 Pa, C,S, 6307, 6308, 6310,3. The 25 duration of the suspension shall be as follows: For a 6 .10 -",,,",,,- 1-' ~'r -- -1- :'~ . ~- ~< 0', , o 1 first offense, the Department shall impose a suspension for 2 a period of 90 days, For a second offense, the Department 3 shall impose a suspension for a period of one year, 4 I move for the admission of what's been 5 marked as Commonwealth's Exhibit No, 1, 6 THE COURT: Mr, O'Connor, do you have any 7 objection to the admission of that item? 8 MR, O'CONNOR: No, I don't, Your Honor, 9 THE COURT: All right, Commonwealth's 10 Exhibit 1 is admitted, 11 (Whereupon, Commonwealth's Exhibit 1 was 12 admitted into evidence,) 13 MR. KABUSK: And t~at is the Department's 14 case, Your Honor, 15 THE COURT: Mr, O'Connor, did you want to 16 respond by way of an opening statement? 17 MR, O'CONNOR: Yes, Your Honor. In regard 18 to the suspension that we're appealing today, the 19 Department's records here indicate that the suspension 20 letter was sent on April 10th, 2001, for a violation on 21 1/29/2000, and conviction is 2/29/2000, And any way you 22 slice it, that is a first violation, and Mr, Wright should 23 only be given a 90-day suspension according to the statute, 24 He did have two offenses. 25 This particular offense took place, and he , 7 .b( "', ~ "'~ _, 0 ~"-"-"'-T"';~"; f',' I: - p~ j- "r " o o 1 was convicted before the date of the second offense, In 2 addition, we're arguing that he should not be suspended at 3 all, because of unreasonable delay on the part of the 4 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, as of the fault 5 of the Department, and also, Mr, Wright relied, to his 6 detriment, on the fact that it would not be suspended, 7 THE COURT: Are you saying, this one-year 8 suspension relates to a first offense? 9 10 MR, O'CONNOR: Yes, Your Honor, THE COURT: Mr, Kabusk, do you have a 11 response to that? 12 13 14 MR, KABUSK: What was the argument, Your Honor? THE COURT: I think the argument is that 15 this one-year suspension is actually for a first offense 16 rather than for the second offense. 17 MR, KABUSK: Yes, I believe that's one of 18 his arguments, In response to that, Your Honor, I would 19 argue that the timing of the offense is not critical, The 20 simple matter that it is a second conviction is what's 21 important, and I would cite to you two cases, Your Honor; 22 the Ebner case at 429 A,2d 1275, and the Geitqev case at 23 704 A.2d 1298, And I would argue that those cases apply in 24 this instance, It's not the timing that is critical, If 25 it was, that would allow a licensee to manipulate 8 f"," . ,'''.'','' ...'l- '-"'--~_I" " ,~-, I" , " 11- -"1 o o 1 suspensions, What is critical is that the person is 2 convicted of a second offense, 3 4 5 6 THE COURT: Okay, MR. O'CONNOR: Your Honor, may I correct-- THE COURT: Certainly, MR, O'CONNOR: This is not a second 7 conviction, as Mr, Kabusk asserts. He's being suspended 8 here for one year for the first conviction. And obviously, 9 there's no way that he could manipulate, If it's true that 10 the district justice was late in sending in the notice to 11 PennDOT, certainly it's not a case of Mr, Wright 12 manipulating the system, 13 THE COURT: You say-- well, I guess it would 14 be pretty easy to figure out if it is a second conviction 15 or not. 16 MR, O'CONNOR: Yes, on the driver's record, 17 it indicates the dates of the convictions, That's page two 18 of the certified letter, 19 THE COURT: I'm sorry. I'm having a little 20 trouble hearing you, 21 MR, O'CONNOR: Page two of the certified 22 driving history clearly indicates the date of the offense 23 and the date of conviction for both charges, 24 THE COURT: Mr. Kabusk, 25 MR, KABUSK: Your Honor, once again, it's 9 J--~ Ic'" .','-",, 1~1'_ :'- f" -'I , " o o 1 not the timing that is crucial. Just because the 2 Department received the conviction for the offense that 3 occurred on January 29th of 2000, after it received the 4 conviction for the offense that occurred later in time, is 5 no reason why that should be assigned a 90-day penalty as 6 did the one that came into the Department in the first 7 place. Simple timing should not allow him to have two 8 90-day suspensions, The delay is in no way chargeable to 9 the Department. 10 THE COURT: Well, I understand, but I think 11 Mr, O'Connor is saying, the one-year suspension seems to be 12 applied to a conviction that occurred February 29, 2000, 13 and the 90-day suspension seems to be applied to a 14 conviction that occurred February 2, 2001, 15 MR, KABUSK: And that is correct, Your 16 Honor, And the reason why is, the one that occurred on 17 November 11th came into the Department first, and that is 18 why the Department assigned the 90-day suspension to that, 19 THE COURT: So you're saying, it's not the 20 date of conviction, it's the date the Department receives 21 the certification of conviction? 22 MR. KABUSK: It's both dates, Your Honor, 23 What's important is not necessarily the date of violation 24 and date of conviction of the offenses, just the fact that 25 there was already one on the record, whether it occurred 10 * : '0 _ _ ~_'"' ,.

MR, KABUSK: I'm saying that those cases talk about imposing penalties for a second offense essentially irregard1ess of when they occurred in time, And I would interpret those cases to support the Department's argument. It is not exactly this scenario, MR. O'CONNOR: Your Honor, I only had a chance to glance at those cases, THE COURT: We'll look at them at the conclusion of the hearing. Maybe we can all go back in chambers and take a look at them, Okay, Mr, O'Connor, I guess you wanted to present a witness, MR, O'CONNOR: Yes, Your Honor, I'd like to call Christopher Wright to the stand, Whereupon, CHRISTOPHER WRIGHT having been duly sworn, testified as follows: DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR, O'CONNOR: Q Mr. Wright, were you charged with underage drinking on January 29th, 2000?

No, Of misrepresentation of your age-- No. --to secure liquor, Okay, Were you ever 22 convicted prior to that period of time to 6310, carrying a No. And you received a suspension notice from ['h ."'. . ~I . 12 Jf, " --j ., ~I" o o 1 PennDOT this year which imposed a suspension for the 2 underage drinking violation of January 29, 2000? 3 4 A Q Yes, Okay, And that suspension period was to be 5 one year? 6 7 A Q Correct, Was there any incident or conversation in 8 November last year which made you feel certain that you 9 would not be suspended for the offense of January 29th, 10 2000? 11 A When the second incident happened, I had 12 talked to a Pennsylvania State LeE officer about the situation, I had mentioned to him-- 13 14 15 16 , MR, KABUSK: Objection to the hearsay, Your Honor, MR, O'CONNOR: Your Honor, it's not to 17 establish the truth of the matter asserted, but to discover 18 his state of mind. 19 THE COURT: Why would his state of mind be 20 relevant to the issue of suspension? 21 MR, O'CONNOR: Because we're trying to 22 determine whether he relied to his detriment to the fact 23 that he would not be suspended. So first we have to 24 determine whether he thought that he would not be suspended 25 for the first offense. 13 ~ ~l u_& . ~,'."

O'CONNOR: Q Was there an incident of conversation that made you feel certain in your own mind that you would not be suspended for the offense of January 29, 2000? A I had mentioned that I had had a situation beforehand, and that I was-- I had assumed that PennDOT would send me a license suspension notification, and I told him that they never had, And he said that, that's odd, and that the situation must be null and void because of the time period that had occurred, Q So as of that date, did you believe that you were not going to be suspended for the first offense? A Q That's correct. And based on that belief then, did you make plans to go work in the city that was outside the area in which you lived? A That's correct. Q And where did you make plans to work? 22 A I'm working for a painting company down in 23 Dover, Pennsylvania, 24 25 i ?~" ~" Q A Okay, It's about 30 minutes away from my house, 14 J.-r ,.

A That's correct, Q And did you ever contact the Department to 23 find out when you were being suspended? 24 25 A Q No, Now you stated that you secured a job, is I91:'1'1~~I~L "" - .~ ,"- 15 d1 I, 1-""-1- . o o Yes, With a painting company?

KABUSK: No further questions, 7 THE COURT: Mr, O'Connor, 8 MR, O'CONNOR: I have no further questions, 9 THE COURT: So you did plead guilty on 10 February 2nd, 2001, to the offense that had occurred on 11 November 11, 2000? 12 13 THE WITNESS: Yes, correct, THE COURT: And you're not appealing that-- 14 the suspension that resulted from that offense? 15 THE WITNESS: Correct, 16 THE COURT: Okay, You may step down, Thank 17 you. Mr. O'Connor, do you have anything further to 18 present? 19 20 21 MR. O'CONNOR: No further witnesses, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Mr, Kabusk, did you have 22 any rebuttal testimony? 23 MR, KABUSK: No, Your Honor. 24 THE COURT: Mr, O'Connor, do you have any 25 cases that suggest that the-- where the late or tardy 17 ~L ',jI] .c ~. -,-\ ~'--=',"'--- ;~ 1'0" _'1'"-' )- _, ~ R= r~ ~ -- ..' ~~, "'- ,"' -" . . o o 1 suspension is the result of not the Department's failure 2 but the failure of the district justice to notify the 3 Department in a timely manner that the suspension is 4 unlawful? 5 MR, O'CONNOR: No, Your Honor, despite a 6 diligent search, I was not able to find a situation such as 7 the one we have here, The only cases I was able to find is 8 where the person being suspended had not responded to the 9 district justice, and therefore their conviction came a 10 long time after the violation, And the-- as I recall in 11 all those cases that I saw, that was actually a second 12 conviction, although it was a first violation, 13 THE COURT: Mr, Kabusk, do you have any 14 cases on that point? 15 MR. KABUSK: Yes, Your Honor, I would cite 16 to you the Turner case, not for-- for the point that the 17 Department can't be charged, cannot be charged with the 18 delay, because it's not the Department's fault, It is 19 essentially the judiciary's fault, The delay can't be 20 charged to the Department, That is Turner, 624 A,2d 759, 21 Fordham, 663 A,2d 868, And Pokav, 714 A,2d 1162, 22 THE COURT: Okay, Why don't we take a brief 23 recess and I'll see counsel in chambers and we'll look up 24 some of these cases, 25 MR, KABUSK: Just as a matter of 18 ~A- -_"~l~ -,. ,,---, ~,-,- - ~l' ~ I \ ' . r " I~ ~ , 'T ~ ~--~~', o o 1 housekeeping, if I didn't do it, I move for the admission 2 of what's been marked Commonwealth's Exhibit No, 1, 3 THE COURT: I believe that was admitted, 4 (Whereupon, a recess was taken at 10:06 a,m, 5 and proceedings reconvened at 10 :27 a,m,) 6 THE COURT: We will let the record indicate 7 that the Court has met in chambers with counsel and has 8 reviewed the cases cited, and we will enter this order, 9 (Whereupon, the following Order of Court was 10 entered:) 11 ORDER OF COURT 12 AND NOW, this 1st day of August, 2001, upon 13 consideration of Petitioner's Appeal from Suspension of 14 Operator's License Privileges, and following a hearing held 15 on this date, the appeal is sustained to the extent that 16 the period of suspension imposed by the Department, by 17 notice dated April 10, 2001, is reduced to 90 days, and is 18 otherwise denied. 19 By the Court, 20 Isl J, Weslev Oler.

The fact that the issuing authority certified Wright's conviction for the January 29, 2000, underage drinking offense after the issuing authority had certified to the Bureau Wright's conviction for a November 11, 2000, underage drinking offense does not entitle Wright to two 90-day suspensions for a first and second underage drinking conviction, See Ciaccia v.

WRIGHT, Petitioner IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYL VANIA v. CIVIL ACTION - LAW COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYL VANIA, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, BUREAU: OF DRIVER LICENSING, Respondent NO, 01-2842 CIVIL TERM IN RE: OPINION PURSUANT TO P A. R.A.P. 1925 OLER, J" September 12,2001. In this license suspension case, Respondent, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, has appealed to the Commonwealth Court from an order of this court partially sustaining an appeal by Petitioner, Christopher A. Wright, from a one-year suspension of his driving privileges imposed by the Department pursuant to Section 1532(d) of the Vehicle Codel in response to Petitioner's first conviction for an offense related to underage possession or consumption of alcohol? The court denied the appeal with respect to Petitioner's claim that the suspension should be invalidated due to delay in notification, but sustained the appeal to the extent that the period of suspension was reduced to 90 days, the period applicable to a "first offense" under Section 1532(d).3 The case presented the issue of whether a licensee's first conviction could be deemed to be a "second offense," for purposes of applying enhanced penalty provisions of Section 1532(d) of the Vehicle Code, when the licensee's first conviction occurred at a point in time prior to a second violation and subsequent conviction.4 The court concluded 1 Act of June 17, 1976, P.L. 162, No. 81, ~ 1, as amended, 75 Pa. C.S.A. ~ 1532(d) (West 1998 & Supp. 2001). 2 See Respondent's Notice of Appeal, filed August 16, 2001; Order of Ct., August 1, 2001. 3 Order ofCt., August 1,2001. 4 N.T. 7, Hr'g August 1,2001 (hereinafter N.T.~. 41. ~, ^' -<" . -, - -. ~.- .. , -. <--_-._I~_W~ .' ,_~. , .

Following the entry of the court order and the filing of Respondent's Notice of Appeal, the Commonwealth Court, in Ciaccia v. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, held, on facts similar to those in the present case, that a first conviction was properly deemed a "second offense," for purposes of the enhanced penalty provisions of Section 1532(d), when the Department previously had received a record of a second conviction and had imposed a suspension applicable to a "first offense" in response to the second conviction.5 From the holding in Ciaccia, it is clear that this court's analysis of the enhancement issue was in error and that the Department's suspension should have been upheld in its entirety. This opinion is written pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 1925(a). STATEMENT OF FACTS Petitioner is Christopher A. Wright, 20, and resides at 1714 Cornell Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Respondent is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing (hereinafter Department),6 Petitioner was convicted on two separate occasions of violations of 18 Pa.

The date of the second conviction, for the violation that occurred on November 11,2000, was February 2, 2001.8 Pursuant to statutory requirements, records of these convictions were certified and forwarded to the Department;9 however, the Department received the record of the second conviction before it received the record of the first conviction. The record of the first conviction was not forwarded to the Department until March 22, 2001, more than a year after the first conviction date, During this interim, the second conviction occurred and a record of that conviction was forwarded promptly to the Department on February 2, 2001.10 On February 23, 2001, in response to the record of the second conviction, the Department mailed to Petitioner an official notification of a license suspension, The notification stated, in pertinent part, as follows: As a result of your violation on 11/11/2000 of violating Section 6308 (offenses related to alcohol), your driving privilege is being SUSPENDED for a period of 90 DA YeS) as mandated by section 1532D of the vehicle code. f1 On April 10, 2001, in response to the record of the first conviction, the Department mailed to Petitioner another official notification of a license suspension, The notification stated, in pertinent part, as follows: As a result of your violation on 01/29/2000 of violating Section 6308 (offenses related to alcohol), your driving privilege is being SUSPENDED 8 N.T. 4-7; Commonwealth's Ex. 1 at 2, 4 (Reports of Court Ordering Suspension of Operating Privilege), 9 Act of March 25, 1988, P.L. 262, No. 31, S 11, 18 Pa, C.S.A.

On May 10, 2001, Petitioner appealed to this court from the one-year license suspension.13 At a hearing on the matter, Petitioner argued that the suspension was invalid because of an unreasonable delay between the point at which Petitioner was convicted of the violation and the point at which the Department notified Petitioner of the suspension.14 Respondent argued that the delay between the conviction and the imposition of the suspension was not caused by the Department, and that, therefore, the suspension is validY Alternatively, Petitioner argued that, under Section 1532( d) of the Vehicle Code, the Department was required to impose a 90-day suspension in response to a "first offense." Petitioner argued that the Department violated this statutory mandate by imposing a one-year suspension, the period applicable to a "second offense," in response to the record of Petitioner's first conviction.16 Respondent argued that the Department may impose a suspension for a period applicable to a "second offense" in response to a record of a first conviction when the Department previously has received a record of a second conviction and has imposed a suspension applicable to a "first offense" in response to the second conviction. 17 On August 1,2001, the court denied the appeal with respect to the contention that the suspension was invalid because of unreasonable delay; however, the court sustained I2 N.T. 4-7; Commonwealth's Ex, 1 at 2 (Department's Notice of Suspension). The effective date of the suspension was indicated to be June 6, 2001. Id. 13 See Petitioner's Appeal from Suspension of Operator's License Privileges, filed May 10, 2001. Neither party has appealed the 90-day license suspension imposed by the Department by notification dated February 23, 2001. 14N.T.8, 15 N,T, 4, 18, 16 N.T. 7-8. 17N.T.8. 4 40 '~~llJl1 ,,-- ".. , '- <. ~"""'""" , ,_'e -".

The relevant period for determining whether a license suspension is invalid because of an unreasonable delay in notifying the licensee is the period between the point at which the Department receives the record of the conviction and the point at which the Department notifies the licensee. Pokoy v. Pa. Dep't of Transp., 714 A.2d 1162, 1164 (Pa. Commw, Ct. 1998). "In other words, only an unreasonable delay by [the Department], and not the judicial system, invalidates [the Department's] license suspension." Id Enhancement Provisions, Section 1532(d) of the Vehicle Code, which includes enhanced penalties for repeat offenders, provides, in pertinent part, as follows: Additional suspension.-- The department shall suspend the operating privilege of any person upon receiving a certified record of the driver's conviction. . , for a violation under, . . [18 Pa. C.S.A. ~ 6308]. The duration of the suspension shall be as follows: (1) For a first offense, the department shall impose a suspension for a period of 90 days, (2) For a second offense, the department shall impose a suspension for a period of one year. (3) For a third and subsequent offense, the department shall impose a suspension for a period of two years, Any multiple suspensions imposed shall be served consecutively. 75 Pa, C.S.A. ~ 1532(d). The Statutory Construction Act, which governs the interpretation of Pennsylvania statutes, provides, in part, as follows: 18 Order ofCt., August 1,2001. 19 Respondent's Notice of Appeal, filed August 16,2001. 5 # ,,,' - ^ ~ ',"",,"-. .'

C.S.A. ~ 1921(b) (West 1998 & Supp. 2001).20 As noted previously, the Commonwealth Court has recently held that it is "the order in which the Department receives the conviction that determines whether the violation is deemed a first or subsequent offense," and that, therefore, a suspension applicable to a "second offense" may be imposed in response to a first conviction if the Department previously has received a record of a second conviction. Ciaccia, 2001 Pa. Commw, LEXIS at 4-5. In Ciaccia, the Court reasoned that, because the receipt of a certified record of the driver's conviction is a "condition precedent" to the imposition of a suspension under 75 Pa. C.SA ~ 1532(d), the date of the receipt of the record of the conviction, rather than the date of the conviction itself, is the proper focus to determine whether the conviction is a subsequent offense. Id. at 4. Annlication of Law to Facts Unreasonable Delay. The court found no merit in Petitioner's contention that the license suspension was invalid because of an unreasonable delay between the date of his first conviction and the date of his notification of the suspension imposed in response to that conviction. Only unreasonable delay by the Department serves to invalidate a license suspension. In this case, however, the delay was attributable almost wholly to the judicial system; the Department was responsible for a delay of only 19 days. Because 19 days was a reasonable period in which to notify Petitioner, the suspension was valid. See Fordham v, Pa. Dep't of Transp., 663 A.2d 868, 872 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 1995) (holding six-month delay to be reasonable); Pa. Dep't of Transp, v, Russo, 96 Pa. Commw. 187, 189,506 A.2d 1349, 1350 (1986) (holding five-month delay to be reasonable), 20 "When the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous and conveys a clear and defmite meaning. . . the statute must be given its plain and obvious meaning." Davis v. Sulcowe, 416 Pa. 138, 143,205 A.2d 89, 91 (1964); see also 1 Pa, C.S,A. ~1903 ("Words and phrases shall be construed. . . according to their common and approved usage. . . ,"). 6 1ft --" '" ., ,,-c--*~-, ;_""~';;_'_,<,,~ .',r >__,,~"; _" ~, ^ ,_j_^> . .. _~>,,_ _ " o ~ \ .I ~ '{ Enhancement Provisions. The court sustained Petitioner's appeal with respect to his claim that the Department lacked the authority to impose a one-year suspension, the period applicable to a "second offense" under 75 Pa. C,S,A. 1l1532(d), in response to his first conviction. In so holding, the court was attempting to apply Section 1921(b) of the Statutory Construction Act, notwithstanding practical difficulties which would obviously result where, as here, the Department's receipt of notices of (first) convictions was delayed. This approach, as it developed, proved to be inconsistent with the subsequent holding in Ciaccia.
