interlock restriction, if the program participant is enrolled in a licensed chemical dependency
treatment or rehabilitation program as recommended in a chemical use assessment, and if
the participant meets the other applicable requirements of section 171.30. After completing
a licensed chemical dependency treatment or rehabilitation program and one year of limited
license use without violating the ignition interlock restriction, the conditions of limited
license use, or program guidelines, the participant may apply for conditional reinstatement
of the driver's license, subject to the ignition interlock restriction. If the program participant's
ignition interlock device subsequently registers a positive breath alcohol concentration of
0.02 or higher, the commissioner shall cancel the driver's license, and the program participant
may apply for another limited license according to this paragraph.

(e) Notwithstanding any statute or rule to the contrary, the commissioner has authority
to determine when a program participant is eligible for restoration of full driving privileges,
except that the commissioner shall not reinstate full driving privileges until the program
participant has met all applicable prerequisites for reinstatement under section 169A.55 and
until the program participant's device has registered no positive breath alcohol concentrations
of 0.02 or higher during the preceding 90 days.
