The NY DMV AA-137AW form is a legal document used by individuals to voluntarily waive their right to an administrative hearing following a refusal to submit to a chemical test. By signing this form, a motorist acknowledges the refusal, admits that the arresting officer's testimony would prove the necessary legal elements of the case, and consents to the automatic revocation of their New York State driver license or driving privilege.
Waiving the hearing carries significant financial and legal consequences, including a mandatory $500 civil penalty ($550 for commercial drivers) and a $750 driver responsibility assessment payable over three years. The form also specifies that the effective date of revocation is the date the waiver is received by the DMV, which may allow the motorist to serve this revocation period concurrently with other criminal sanctions related to driving while intoxicated. Additionally, the document warns that multiple alcohol or drug-related incidents can lead to permanent license revocation.
