- (a) When the Office of Driver Services has suspended the driving privilege of a person under Arkansas Code § 27-16-505, such person shall be required to furnish written proof in the form of a restoration to competency from the court that declared the person incompetent before the office will consider reinstating the driving privilege.
- (b) However, when the office has suspended the driving privilege of a person under the provisions of this subsection, such person shall furnish a medical release or statement from a physician licensed to practice medicine in this state before the office will consider reinstating the driving privilege.
- (c) If the suspension was the result of such person having epileptic seizures, diabetic blackouts, or chronic alcohol/drug/narcotic addiction, then the driving privilege can be restored only after the person has been seizure-free and that such condition is under control, has suffered no diabetic blackouts, or is no longer addicted to alcohol/drugs/narcotics for no less than one (1) year and that this period of one (1) year is verified in the form of a physician’s statement.
