file a change of address. This statutory section implicitly places the consequences of an address change on the driver. The consequence here is that appellant was still required to file a petition for review of his license revocation within 30 days of the time it was deemed to be received (three days after mailing). The one-week delay in receipt due to an address change does not extend the time for appeal.
Appellant next contends that the harsh results in this case support a liberal statutory construction in his favor. Specifically, he argues that the availability of a full post-revocation hearing is no longer a viable option since the 1982 amendment to Minn.Stat. § 171.19 (1980). That amendment eliminated use of a reinstatement procedure to challenge license revocations under Section 169.123. 1982 Minn.Laws ch. 423, §§ 9, 11. See State v. Hanson, 356 N.W.2d 689, 692 (Minn.1984).
We rejected this argument in Qualley, stating:
If the result now seems harsh, it is a criticism that may be levelled against many statutes of limitation. Furthermore, as a matter of public policy D.W.I. laws, including the implied consent statute, are liberally construed in the public’s favor and are strictly applied. State, Department of Public Safety v. Juncewski, 308 N.W.2d 316, 319 (Minn.1981).
Qualley, 349 N.W.2d at 307.
Appellant’s final argument in favor of a liberal statutory construction stems from his reliance on McIntee v. State, Department of Public Safety, 279 N.W.2d 817 (Minn.1979). In Mclntee, notice of proposed license revocation was sent by certified mail and ultimately deposited in a post office box. Postal notice to pick up the certified mail went unheeded by the driver and the mail was eventually returned to the commissioner. The court held that notice was sufficient. The holding was based on a finding of constructive delivery and Mclntee’s refusal or neglect to pick up the properly delivered notice. Id. at 820.
Appellant asserts that the driver’s refusal to pick up his mail in Mclntee distinguishes it from the present case. He contends that Mclntee signifies a factual resolution based on fault; if he was not at fault for failure to receive notice, the limitations period should be construed against the Commissioner. This argument is misplaced. Winchester and its progeny have firmly established that the 30-day limitations period will be strictly construed even if a delay in filing is not the driver’s fault.
2. Due Process. Appellant contends that a strict construction of Section 169.123 would violate his constitutional right to due process under the fourteenth amendment. Specifically, he argues that “deemed” receipt of notice under subdivision 5 was insufficient under the circumstances and that his actual notice should control.
It is undisputed that state action affecting an interest in life, liberty or property requires the state to provide the burdened party with notice and an opportunity to be heard. See Mennonite Board of Missions v. Adams, 462 U.S. 791, 103 S.Ct. 2706, 77 L.Ed.2d 180 (1983). Moreover, it is well established that a driver’s license is a pro-tectible property interest subject to due process protection. Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. 1, 99 S.Ct. 2612, 61 L.Ed.2d 321 (1979); Heddan v. Dirkswager, 336 N.W.2d 54, 58-59 (Minn.1983).
Traditionally, the Supreme Court has utilized two separate analyses under the due process clause. When, for instance, the question is what process is due in an implied consent hearing, courts have used the balancing test set out in Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 335, 96 S.Ct. 893, 903, 47 L.Ed.2d 18 (1976). Heddan, 336 N.W.2d at 59. When the issue revolves around the adequacy of notice as in the present case, courts have utilized the due process analysis set out in Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 70 S.Ct. 652, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950). See, e.g., Goldsworthy v. State, Department of Public Safety, 268 N.W.2d 46, 48 (Minn.1978); State v. Green, 351 N.W.2d 42, 43 (Minn.Ct.App.1984).
