343.315(3)(c) (c) Nothing in this subsection exempts a person from reinstatement fees under s. 343.21 or complying with applicable provisions of s. 343.38.

343.315(3)(d) (d) Disqualifications shall be effective from the date of conviction of the disqualifying offense.

343.315(4) (4) Notification and commencement. The department shall send the notice of disqualification by 1st class mail to a person’s last-known residence address.

The 5-year period under this subsection shall be measured from the dates of the violations which resulted in the convictions.

343.32(1m)(d) (d) If the person’s license or operating privilege is currently suspended or revoked or the person does not currently possess a valid operator’s license issued under this chapter, the suspension or revocation under this subsection is effective on the date on which the person is first eligible for issuance, renewal, or reinstatement of an operator’s license under this chapter.

343.32(1s) (1s) The secretary shall suspend the operating privilege of any person who has been convicted under state law or under a local ordinance which is in conformity therewith or under a law of a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in this state which is in conformity with state law of altering the person’s license, loaning the person’s license to another or unlawfully or fraudulently using or permitting an unlawful or fraudulent use of a license.
