More details to this question:
My step son was charged with a second DWI. His plan is to move to Florida from PA and not show up to court. Will PA automatically suspend his license? Will he be able to get a Florida license? Is there a statue of limitations on the offense of not showing up to court?

Failure to appear in court will result in a warrant for your step sons arrest issued by PA nationwide, and a license suspension in PA. The courts in Florida will recriprocate with the license suspension and will take him into custody on the warrant if he has any contact with law enforcement. The best thing to do is go to PA and turn himself in and deal with the DUI charge, take care of business, then move to Florida. Simply moving to Florida will not solve the problem.
