What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a person's operating privilege is suspended or revoked, the person may apply for an occupational license, which restricts when and where the person is allowed to drive, such as to and from work. In most cases, the person is not eligible for an occupational license until 15 days after the date of the suspension or revocation. In some cases involving serious offenses, the person is not eligible for an occupational license until one year after the date of the suspension or revocation.
Currently, persons whose suspension or revocation is the result of any of the following are eligible for an occupational license immediately:

1. An administrative suspension after a chemical test indicates the presence of a restricted controlled substance or a prohibited alcohol concentration.
2. The first conviction of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance or an intoxicant.
3. The conviction of operating a motor vehicle while having any alcohol in the person's blood if the person is under the legal drinking age.
This bill removes the immediate eligibility for those persons whose suspension or revocation is described in items 1. to 3., above, and delays their eligibility to receive an occupational license until 15 days after the date of the suspension or revocation.
