8-252. Suspension or revocation of resident's license upon conviction
in another state; period of suspension or revocation; return of license
after suspension; granting new license after revocation; exceptions.
The division is authorized to suspend or revoke the driver's license of
any resident of this state upon receiving notice of the conviction of such
person in another state of an offense which, if committed in this
state, would be grounds for the suspension or revocation of a driver's
license. Any suspension or revocation of a driver's license by the division
pursuant to this section shall be for a specific period of time designated
in the division's order of suspension, not to exceed the period of time for
which such person's privilege to drive in the other state was suspended or
revoked for such offense, but in no event shall any suspension or
revocation pursuant to this section exceed one year, except as
provided in K.S.A. 8-2,125 through 8-2,142. The return of a
person's license after the expiration of the period of any suspension
hereunder, and the granting of a new license upon application of a person
following the expiration of the period of any revocation hereunder, shall
not be conditioned upon the restoration of such person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle by the state in which such person was convicted.
