Satisfactory completion of a rehabilitation program or expiration of the term of suspension, whichever occurs first, will initiate the necessary action to provide for the termination of the suspension or revocation which was the basis for entry into the rehabilitation program, provided however, no such suspension or revocation shall be terminated prior to the expiration of the term of suspension or revocation if the applicant for the unconditional license has two or more alcohol- or drug-related driving convictions or incidents within the preceding 25 years. For the purposes of this section, the preceding 25 years means the period commencing upon the date that is 25 years before the date of the violation that resulted in enrollment in the program and ending on and including the date of such violation. Upon a determination of satisfactory completion of the rehabilitation program or the term of suspension, and unless otherwise determined by the commissioner, as provided for in section 134.10(b) of this Part, a notice of termination of the suspension or revocation and an unconditional license will be issued. However, no such license will be issued until all civil penalties due the department are paid or if there are any outstanding suspensions, revocations, or bars against such license until such suspensions, revocations, or bars are satisfactorily disposed of by the applicant. Any conditional license which is still valid will be terminated concurrently with the return of the unconditional driver's license and must be returned to the department. A conditional license shall not be renewed more than one year after the issuance of the conditional license if a revocation is issued for a chemical test refusal and the holder of the conditional license has not paid the civil penalty required by section 1194 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
