Any person whose driving privileges are or have been canceled or denied pursuant to this section, except for paragraph 1, 2 or 8 of subsection A of this section, may file a petition for relief based upon error or hardship.1. The petition shall be filed in the district court which notified the Department. If the Notification originated in a municipal court, the petition shall be filed in the district court of the county in which the municipal court is located. A copy of the Notification and a copy of the Department's action canceling or denying driving privileges pursuant to this section shall be attached to the petition.2. The district court shall conduct a hearing on the petition and may determine the matter de novo, without notice to the Department and, if applicable, without notice to the municipal court; provided, the district court shall not consider a collateral attack upon the merits of any conviction or determination which has become final.3. The district court may deny the petition or, in its discretion, issue a written Order to the Department to decrease the period of cancellation or denial to any period or issue a written Order to vacate the Department's action taken pursuant to this section, in its entirety. The content of the Order shall not grant or purport to grant any driving privileges to the person; however, such Order may direct the Department of Public Safety to do so if the person is otherwise eligible therefor. The petitioner is responsible for his or her own attorney fees. However, if the petitioner is granted relief for error, then the party that committed the error may be ordered to pay attorney fees and costs. Unless all persons or agencies the court had reason to believe may have had relevant information related to the court record and departmental action have been given notice of the petition, attorney fees and costs shall not be awarded against any party. In no event shall the Department of Public Safety be liable for attorney fees and costs for suspending, revoking, canceling or denying a driver license based upon reasonable reliance on a notice from a court requiring the revocation, suspension, cancellation or denial of the driver license according to law.Added by Laws 1961, p. 348, § 6-205, eff.
