The bill amends existing laws regarding the revocation of driver licenses in Oklahoma, specifically focusing on the Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP) and the refusal to submit to testing for alcohol or drugs. It transfers the administration of IDAP from the Department of Public Safety to the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence, which will charge an administrative fee of $150 for participation in the program. The bill updates statutory language, including changing "violation free" to "violation-free" and modifying the requirement for revocation of a driver license. It also establishes criteria for medical exemptions, employer exceptions, and affordability accommodations for participants in the program.
Additionally, the bill outlines the process for individuals to enroll in IDAP after receiving a notice of revocation, including the requirement to submit a request and fee within 30 days of receiving the notice. It specifies that upon successful completion of the program, individuals can have their driving privileges reinstated. The bill also clarifies the conditions under which a person's driving record can be updated to reflect completion of IDAP without revocation. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
