Sec.14-45a-7. Standards for taking licensing action

(a) No operator's license will be issued or reissued, or an operator's license issued to a person will be suspended or revoked, if a person is afflicted with a health problem, medical condition or physical or mental disability which prevents him or her from exercising reasonable and ordinary control over a motor vehicle, and if the commissioner has reason to believe that such person will endanger the public safety by operating a motor vehicle.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this regulation, the commissioner may order immediate suspension of the operator's license of a person prior to a hearing if the commissioner finds that, because of the person's medical condition, the public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and a finding to that effect is incorporated in his order. Such action shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 54 of the Connecticut General Statutes, and an opportunity for a hearing shall be afforded for such person as soon as is practicable.
