administrative hearing is a legal proceeding before an impartial Administrative Law Judge designed to review a state or local agency decision.

They will take your drivers license if the officer has not already taken it from you. They will then issue you a temporary permit that is valid for up to 60 days or until you have your DMV hearing.
