Due Process — DMV Hold Without Adequate Notice
Connecticut DMV places registration holds for unpaid municipal citations under CGS §14-150b. The city must first send notice with hearing right under §7-152c. Where notice was not received (wrong address, mailed but never sent), the hold violates procedural due process under CT Const. Art. I §10 and U.S. Const. Amend. XIV.
Legal basis
CGS §14-150b; CGS §7-152c; CT Const. Art. I §10; Mathews v. Eldridge
