13352.5
. (a) The department shall issue a restricted driver's
license to a person whose driver's license was suspended under
paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352, if all of the
following requirements have been met:
(1) Proof satisfactory to the department of enrollment in, or
completion of, a driving-under-the-influence program licensed
pursuant to Section 11836 of the Health and Safety Code, as described
in subdivision (b) of Section 23542 has been received in the
department's headquarters.
(2) The person submits proof of financial responsibility, as
described in Section 16430.
(3) The person completes not less than 12 months of the suspension
period imposed under paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section
13352. The 12 months may include credit for any suspension period
served under subdivision (c) of Section 13353.3.
(4) The person pays all applicable reinstatement or reissue fees
and any restriction fee required by the department.
(b) The restriction of the driving privilege shall become
effective when the department receives all of the documents and fees
required under subdivision (a) and shall remain in effect until the
final day of the original suspension imposed under paragraph (3) of
subdivision (a) of Section 13352, or until the date all reinstatement
requirements described in Section 13352 have been met, whichever
date is later.
(c) The restriction of the driving privilege shall be limited to
the hours necessary for driving to and from the person's place of
employment, driving during the course of employment, and driving to
and from activities required in the driving-under-the-influence
program.
(d) Whenever the driving privilege is restricted under this
section, proof of financial responsibility, as defined in Section
16430, shall be maintained for three years. If the person does not
maintain that proof of financial responsibility at any time during
the restriction, the driving privilege shall be suspended until the
proof required under Section 16484 is received by the department.
(e) For the purposes of this section, enrollment in, participation
in, and completion of an approved program shall be subsequent to the
date of the current violation. Credit shall not be given to any
program activities completed prior to the date of the current
violation.
(f) The department shall terminate the restriction imposed
pursuant to this section and shall suspend the privilege to drive
under paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352 upon receipt
of notification from the driving-under-the-influence program that the
person has failed to comply with the program requirements.
(g) If, upon conviction, the court has made the determination, as
authorized under subdivision (b) of Section 23540 or subdivision (d)
of Section 23542, to disallow the issuance of a restricted driver's
license, the department shall not issue a restricted driver's license
under this section.
(h) A person restricted pursuant to this section may apply to the
department for a restricted driver's license, subject to the
conditions specified in paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section
13352. Whenever proof of financial responsibility has already been
provided and a restriction fee has been paid in compliance with
restrictions described in this section, and the offender subsequently
receives an ignition interlock device restriction described in
paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352, the proof of
financial responsibility period shall not be extended beyond the
previously established term and no additional restriction fee shall
be required.
(i) This section applies to a person who meets all of the
following conditions:

occurred on or before July 1, 1999, and is punishable under Section
23540, or former Section 23165.

imposed under subdivision (b) of Section 23542, or under subdivision

(2).
(4) Has not completed the licensed driving-under-the-influence
program under paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352 for
reinstatement of the driving privilege.
