Sec. 7. (a) If a child is alleged to have committed an act that would be an offense under IC 9-30-5 if committed by an adult, a juvenile court shall recommend the immediate suspension of the child's driving privileges as provided in IC 9-30-5. If a court recommends suspension of a child's driving privileges under this section, the bureau of motor vehicles shall comply with the recommendation of suspension as provided in IC 9-30-6-12.
(b) If a court recommends suspension of a child's driving privileges under this section, the court may order the bureau of motor vehicles to reinstate the child's driving privileges as provided in IC 9-30-6-11.
(c) If a juvenile court orders the bureau of motor vehicles to reinstate a child's driving privileges under subsection (b), the bureau shall comply with the order. Unless the order for reinstatement is issued as provided under IC 9-30-6-11(a)(2) because of a violation of the speedy trial provisions applicable to the juvenile court, the bureau shall also do the following:
(1) Remove any record of the suspension from the bureau's record keeping system.
(2) Reinstate the privileges without cost to the person.
(d) If a juvenile court orders a suspension under this section and the child did not refuse to submit to a chemical test offered under IC 9-30-6-2 during the investigation of the delinquent act that would have been an offense under IC 9-30-5 if committed by an adult, the juvenile court may grant the child specialized driving privileges in conformity with the procedures in IC 9-30-16.
(e) If a proceeding described in this section is terminated in favor of the child and the child did not refuse to submit to a chemical test offered as provided under IC 9-30-6-2 during the investigation of the delinquent act that would be an offense under IC 9-30-5 if committed by an adult, the bureau shall remove any record of the suspension, including the reasons for the suspension, from the child's official driving record.
(f) The bureau of motor vehicles may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to carry out this section.
