shall issue a restricted driver's license to a person whose driver's
license was suspended under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of
Section 13352 or Section 13352.1, if the person meets all of the
following requirements:
(1) Submits proof satisfactory to the department of enrollment in,

required under subdivision (a) and shall remain in effect until the
final day of the original suspension imposed under paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of Section 13352 or Section 13352.1, or until the
date all reinstatement requirements described in Section 13352 or
Section 13352.1 have been met, whichever date is later, and may
include credit for any suspension period served under subdivision (c)
of Section 13353.3.
(c) The restriction of the driving privilege shall be limited to
the hours necessary for driving to and from the person's place of

(d) Whenever the driving privilege is restricted under this
section, proof of financial responsibility, as defined in Section

(f) The department shall terminate the restriction issued under
this section and shall suspend the privilege to operate a motor
vehicle pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352
or Section 13352.1 immediately upon receipt of notification from the
driving-under-the-influence program that the person has failed to
comply with the program requirements. The privilege shall remain
suspended until the final day of the original suspension imposed
under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352 or Section
13352.1, or until the date all reinstatement requirements described

of a violation that resulted in a suspension or revocation of the
person's noncommercial driving privilege under paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of Section 13352 or Section 13352.1 is not eligible
for the restricted driver's license authorized under this section.
(h) If, upon conviction, the court has made the determination, as
authorized under subdivision (d) of Section 23536 or paragraph (3) of
subdivision (a) of Section 23538, to disallow the issuance of a
restricted driver's license, the department may not issue a
restricted driver's license under this section.
