- A. Whenever the records of Service Oklahoma reflect a conviction of a person pursuant to Section 11-902 of this title or an alcohol- or drug-related revocation or suspension of the driving privileges of that person pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 2 or 6 of subsection A of Section 6-205 or to Section 6-205.1, 6-206, 753, 754 or 761 of this title, the person shall participate in an alcohol and drug assessment and evaluation by an assessment agency or assessment personnel certified by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services for the purpose of evaluating the person's receptivity to treatment and prognosis. As determined by the assessment, the person shall enroll in, attend and successfully complete the appropriate alcohol and drug substance abuse course certified by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services or an alcohol or other drug treatment program or both. The alcohol and drug substance abuse course shall consist of either ten (10) hours or twenty-four (24) hours of instruction and shall conform with the provisions of Section 3-453 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma Statutes. For purposes of this subsection, the requirement for alcohol and drug substance abuse evaluation shall be considered satisfied if the person is evaluated by an assessment agency or assessment personnel certified for that purpose, all recommendations identified by the evaluation are satisfied by the person, and a report of such evaluation and completion is presented to the court prior to sentencing and to Service Oklahoma.

If the assessment agency or assessment personnel in subsection A of this section determine that the person would likely benefit from a United-States-Food-and-Drug-Administration-approved medication-assisted treatment that is indicated for alcohol dependence or opioid dependence, the assessment agency or assessment personnel shall refer the defendant to a licensed physician for further evaluation. Only a licensed physician may recommend that a defendant take medication-assisted treatment, and the defendant shall maintain the right to refuse the medication.
- C. The requirements of subsection A of this section shall be a condition for reinstatement of driving privileges, in addition to other conditions for driving privilege reinstatement provided by law.
