Any person whose license or privilege to drive a motor vehicle on public highways has been revoked, suspended, or disqualified may not have the license or privilege renewed or restored unless the period of revocation, suspension, or disqualification has expired. The period of revocation, suspension, or disqualification shall begin on the date the revoked, suspended, or disqualified license is received by the Department of Public Safety or the court, or on the date the suspension order is effective for failure to comply with a citation. At the expiration of the period of revocation, suspension, or disqualification, a person may make application for license reinstatement as provided by law and shall pay a license fee of fifty dollars plus application fees pursuant to § 32-12-16; a license fee of seventy-five dollars plus application fees pursuant to § 32-12-16 if revocation of the license was a result of a conviction for a violation of § 32-23-2; a license fee of one hundred dollars plus application fees pursuant to § 32-12-16 if revocation of the license was a result of a conviction for a violation of § 32-33-18, or a second or subsequent conviction for a violation of § 32-24-1 within a period of one year; a license fee of one hundred twenty-five dollars plus application fees pursuant to § 32-12-16 if revocation of the license was a result of a conviction for a violation of § 32-23-3; a license fee of one hundred seventy-five dollars plus application fees pursuant to § 32-12-16 if revocation of the license was a result of a conviction for a violation of § 32-23-4, 32-23-4.6, or 32-23-4.7; or a license fee of two hundred dollars plus application fees pursuant to § 32-12-16 if revocation of the license was the result of a conviction for a violation of § 22-16-41 or 22-18-36. A person making application following a revocation shall fulfill all knowledge examination requirements of a new applicant. A person who had a restricted minor's permit, motorcycle restricted minor's permit, instruction permit, or motorcycle instruction permit, or privilege to apply for a permit or license suspended pursuant to § 32-12-15 need not pay the fee prior to reinstatement of the license unless the suspension is for a conviction of a moving traffic offense assessed six or more points by § 32-12-49.1.
