7 amended to read as follows:
8 49-326A. ADMINISTRATION BY DEPARTMENT OF JUDICIAL SUSPENSIONS OF
9 DRIVER'S' LICENSES OR PRIVILEGES TO BECOME EFFECTIVE AFTER RELEASE FROM CON-
10 FINEMENT. (1) When a court's judgment or order provides that the suspension of
11 an individual's driver's license or driving privileges shall begin after the
12 individual is released from confinement or imprisonment, the department, for
13 purposes of administering the ordered suspension, shall consider the driver's
14 license or driving privileges as suspended effective as of the end of the last
15 day of the fixed portion of the ordered sentence, as shown by the judgment or
16 sentencing order of the court.
17 (21) Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the suspension shall remain
18 in effect until the individual applies for reinstatement of his or her dri-
19 ver's license or driving privileges and can provide verifiable documentation
20 to establish the date of release from confinement or imprisonment and show
21 that the court-ordered suspension period has expired since the individual's
22 release. Upon such a showing, the department will reinstate the individual's
23 driver's license or driving privileges as provided by law.
24 (32) Where the department is notified of the release of the individual,
25 either by the court or the agency having custody over the individual during
26 the period of confinement or imprisonment, the department shall amend its
27 records to reflect the actual court-ordered period of suspension.
28 (43) No time credit against the court-ordered period of suspension will
29 be given while the individual is incarcerated or if the individual is
30 reincarcerated. The entire period of the court-ordered suspension must run
31 after the individual is released from confinement or imprisonment.
