     169A.55 License revocation termination; license 
  reinstatement. 

    Subdivision 1.    Termination of revocation period.  If 
 the commissioner receives notice of the driver's attendance at a 
 driver improvement clinic, attendance at counseling sessions, or 
 participation in treatment for an alcohol problem, the 
 commissioner may, 30 days prior to the time the revocation 
 period would otherwise expire, terminate the revocation period.  
 The commissioner shall not terminate the revocation period under 
 this subdivision for a driver who has had a license revoked 
 under section 169A.52 (license revocation for test failure or 
 refusal); 169A.54 (impaired driving convictions and 
 adjudications; administrative penalties); or Minnesota Statutes 
 1998, section 169.121 (driving under the influence of alcohol or 
 controlled substances); or 169.123 (implied consent) for another 
 incident during the preceding three-year period. 

    Subd. 2.    Reinstatement of driving privileges; notice. 
  Upon expiration of a period of revocation under section 
 169A.52 (license revocation for test failure or refusal) or 
 169A.54 (impaired driving convictions and adjudications; 
 administrative penalties), the commissioner shall notify the 
 person of the terms upon which driving privileges can be 
 reinstated, and new registration plates issued, which terms are: 
 (1) successful completion of an examination and proof of 
 compliance with any terms of alcohol treatment or counseling 
 previously prescribed, if any; and (2) any other requirements 
 imposed by the commissioner and applicable to that particular 
 case.  The commissioner shall notify the owner of a motor 
 vehicle subject to an impoundment order under section 169A.60 
 (administrative impoundment of plates) as a result of the 
 violation of the procedures for obtaining new registration 
 plates, if the owner is not the violator.  The commissioner 
 shall also notify the person that if driving is resumed without 
 reinstatement of driving privileges or without valid 
 registration plates and registration certificate, the person 
 will be subject to criminal penalties.
