     (c) The driver has fifteen (15) days from the date of notice to satisfy the conditions of the citation issued by the jurisdiction or to request a hearing before a bureau hearing officer to show evidence or present information why the bureau should not suspend the driver’s driving privileges for failure to meet the terms of the citation.

     (d) Upon holding the hearing, the bureau may suspend the driver’s driving privileges until the conditions of the citation are met or a release from the citing jurisdiction is obtained.

     (e) If the bureau does not receive information from the driver concerning the notification, the bureau shall suspend the driver’s driving privileges until the conditions of the citation are met or a release is obtained.

     (f) A driver whose driving privileges have been suspended for failure to meet the conditions of a citation in another jurisdiction is not eligible for specialized driving privileges under IC 9-30-16.

     (g) The bureau may not suspend driving privileges under this section for a nonmoving traffic offense occurring in another jurisdiction.
