License suspension periods in Pennsylvania increase with each DUI within the lookback period:
First offense: NONE for general impairment; 12 months for high/highest – 12 months; hardship: Ignition Interlock Limited License (IILL) available almost immediately for high/highest
Second offense: 12 months (general/high) – 18 months (highest); hardship: IILL after waiting period
Civil PennDOT suspension for refusal: 12 months (18 months with a prior), PLUS restoration fee up to $2,000. Criminally, refusal is sentenced at the highest tier — post-Birchfield this enhancement applies to breath-test refusal; warrantless BLOOD-refusal criminal enhancement was struck down. ⚠️ nuanced — verify current case law at page QC.
Statute: 75 Pa.C.S. § 1547
