  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.
