If this is your first DUI conviction, you can expect to be in the ASAP program for at least one year, or until your restricted operator’s license (ROL) or the probationary period expires. You are expected as part of your court referral to pay the $300 ASAP fee as established by law. If you were granted a restricted driver’s license (a green sheet, DC-265) by the court, you can take it to DMV to receive a hard copy of your restricted operator’s license. Make sure that your green sheet has been signed and sealed by an ASAP employee BEFORE you go to DMV.
