A person whose driver license has been revoked or restricted due solely to the person’s status as a motor vehicle habitual offender prior to July 1, 2019, may petition the court that originally made such a finding to reinstate the person’s driver license. Upon receiving a petition for a reinstated driver license, the court shall determine whether the person’s driver license was subject to revocation or restriction under prior law due solely to the person’s status as a motor vehicle habitual offender and, if so, order the reinstatement of the person’s driver license. The person may provide a copy of the court’s order to the department of safety, which shall then reissue the person’s driver license without restriction.
