At the conclusion of the period of revocation ordered by the court, and if future proof is filed with the Department of Public Safety as required by chapter 32-35 , the defendant may submit an application to reinstate the defendant's driver license, accompanied by the following applicable fee: (1) If revocation of the license was a result of a conviction under § 32-23-2 , one hundred dollars; (2) If revocation of the license was a result of a conviction under § 32-23-3 , one hundred fifty dollars; and (3) If revocation of the license was a result of a conviction under § 32-23-4 , 32-23-4.6 , or 32-23-4.7 , two hundred dollars. The department may issue a driver license to the defendant, if, after an investigation of the character, habits, and driving ability of the defendant, the department is satisfied it is safe to grant the privilege of driving a motor vehicle to the defendant. A driver license issued under the provisions of this section must show the restrictions, if any, imposed by the court and the date when the restrictions expire.
