Sec. 7. (a) If the bureau has good cause to believe that a licensed driver is:
(1) incompetent; or
(2) otherwise unfit to operate a motor vehicle;
the bureau may, upon written notice of at least five (5) days, require the licensed driver to submit to an examination, an investigation of the driver's continued fitness to operate a motor vehicle safely, including requesting medical information from the driver or the driver's health care sources, or both an examination and an investigation.
(b) Upon the conclusion of all examinations and investigations of a driver under this section, the bureau:
(1) shall take appropriate action; and
(2) may:
(A) suspend or revoke the driver's license or driving privileges of the licensed driver;
(B) permit the licensed driver to retain the driver's license or driving privileges of the licensed driver; or
(C) issue restricted driving privileges subject to restrictions the bureau considers necessary in the interest of public safety.
(c) If a licensed driver refuses or neglects to submit to an examination or investigation under this section, the bureau may suspend or revoke the driver's license or driving privileges of the licensed driver. The bureau may not suspend or revoke the driver's license or driving privileges of the licensed driver until a reasonable investigation of the driver's continued fitness to operate a motor vehicle safely has been made by the bureau.
(d) A licensed driver may appeal an action taken by the bureau under this section to the circuit court or superior court of the county in which the licensed driver resides.
