Text: Stenger claims this action is moot because he has already completed the 90-day revocation. However, the Department argues that 270 days of revocation are still in dispute or that the public interest exception applies. A case becomes moot when the issues initially presented in litigation cease to exist or the litigants lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome of litigation. Rath v. City of Sutton, 267 Neb. 265, 673 N.W.2d 869 (2004). For the reasons set forth herein, we conclude that the action is not moot. The district court held that the ALR statutory scheme for enhancement denied Stenger due process of law. The constitutionality of a statute is squarely before us. We therefore proceed to address the constitutionality of the ALR statutory scheme.
