(3) The following apply to an emergency driver permit:
(a) The department may issue an emergency driver permit to a person 14 years of age or older.
(b) The department shall place restrictions on the permit that designate the routes over which the permit is valid. The department shall designate routes it determines necessary from the facts creating the emergency.
(c) The permit shall only be issued if the department is satisfied that an emergency exists that requires operation of a motor vehicle by the applicant.
(d) The department may establish a form for the permit that differs from the form required for a license.
(e) The only fee required for issuance of the permit is the emergency driver permit fee under ORS 807.370.
(f) The department may establish a period for the expiration of the permit that coincides with the end of the emergency that is the basis for the permit.

(4) The department may issue an emergency driver permit, if the person qualifies for the permit, to a person whose driving privileges are suspended under ORS 809.280 because the department has received an order suspending driving privileges under ORS 809.260. In addition to other emergencies, a situation that leaves the applicant with no alternative means to travel to and from school is an emergency for purposes of a permit issued under this subsection.
