(1) The Department of Transportation shall permanently suspend a persons commercial driving privileges for the lifetime of the person if the department receives a record of conviction for a crime punishable as a felony in which a motor vehicle was used and that involved the manufacturing, distributing or dispensing of a controlled substance, as defined in ORS 475.005. The department may not reinstate commercial driving privileges of a person whose commercial driving privileges are suspended under this subsection. (2) The department shall permanently suspend a persons commercial driving privileges for the lifetime of the person if the department receives a record of conviction for a crime in which a commercial motor vehicle was used and that involved an act or practice of severe forms of trafficking in persons as defined by the department by rule. The department may not reinstate commercial driving privileges of a person whose commercial driving privileges are suspended under this subsection. (3)(a) The department shall suspend a persons commercial driving privileges for the lifetime of the person if the department receives a second or subsequent record, report or notice described in ORS 809.510 that does not arise out of the same incident and that would be grounds for suspension of the persons commercial driving privileges under ORS 809.510. (b) The department may adopt rules providing for the reinstatement of commercial driving privileges suspended under this subsection. The department may not reinstate commercial driving privileges under this subsection earlier than 10 years after the date that the persons commercial driving privileges are suspended under paragraph (a) of this subsection. (c) The department shall permanently suspend a persons commercial driving privileges for the lifetime of the person if the department receives a record, report or notice described in paragraph (a) of this subsection that relates to conduct that occurred after the persons commercial driving privileges were reinstated under paragraph (b) of this subsection. The department may not reinstate the commercial driving privileges of a person whose commercial driving privileges are suspended under this paragraph. (4) The department shall suspend a persons commercial driving privileges under this section if the department receives a notice of a conviction in another jurisdiction of an offense that, if committed in this state, would be grounds for suspending the persons commercial driving privileges under this section. The departments authority to reinstate a persons commercial driving privileges under this section is the same as if the conviction were for an offense committed in this state. For the purposes of this subsection, conviction has the meaning given that term in ORS 809.510 (6). (5) A suspension imposed under this section is consecutive to any other suspension imposed under ORS 809.510, 809.525, 809.530 or 809.535, if the suspensions do not arise out of the same incident.
