More details to this question:
It's almost been a year now and I have not even been arraigned yet. I refused all sobriety test and they finally took blood. I just recently got my licenses back to. Can they suspend it again if they do go through with the charges?

They have more time in which to file charges. They could suspend the license again if they convict you.

Florida grants the States Attorney two years from the date of the arrest to file charges. If they proceed and you are found guilty the State may suspend your DL.
