The Florida Senate

At the expiration of 5 years from the date of license revocation, a person whose license has been revoked under s. 322.27(5) may petition the department for restoration of driving privileges. Upon such petition and after investigation of the person’s qualification and fitness to drive, the department shall hold an administrative hearing to determine whether driving privileges shall be restored either on an unrestricted basis or on a restricted basis solely for business or employment purposes.

If a person whose license has been revoked under s. 322.27(5) as a result of a third violation of driving a motor vehicle while his or her license is suspended or revoked which occurred prior to July 1, 2010, provides proof of compliance as allowed by s. 318.14(10)(a) prior to July 1, 2011, the clerk of court shall submit an amended disposition to remove the habitual traffic offender designation.
