The failure must be documented pursuant to section 42-2-144.

(2)

The department has the authority to cancel any driver’s or minor driver’s license if, subsequent to the issuance of such license, the department has authentic information that a condition developed or an act was committed which places such licensee in one of the categories for which cancellation is authorized.

(2.5)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

Any person who has had a driver’s or minor driver’s license or driving privilege canceled pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section who is receiving or has received therapy treatment for physical or mental incompetence or an evaluation for such incompetence through a rehabilitation provider or licensed physician certified by the department to provide rehabilitative driving instruction may receive a limited license with such limitations as the department deems necessary after consultation with and upon the recommendation of the rehabilitation provider or licensed physician.

(c)

The department shall adopt rules as necessary to carry out this subsection (2.5).

(3)

Upon such cancellation, the licensee shall surrender the license so cancelled to the department, and thereafter such licensee is entitled to a hearing by the department if such license is returned and if such request is made within thirty days from the date of such cancellation; except that a denial or cancellation pursuant to subsection (1)(i) of this section is deemed to be final agency action for judicial review purposes pursuant to section 24-4-104. Such hearing, if requested, must be held no later than thirty days from the date of such cancellation. Notification of such cancellation must be given as provided in section 42-2-119.

The licensee may also appeal the decision of the department after the hearing to the district court as provided in section 42-2-135.

(b)

A licensee who has proved that cancellation should not have been made shall not be required to give proof of financial responsibility pursuant to article 7 of this title.
