(1) If the offender has not been convicted within five years of the offense of a violation of § 73.01, or R.C. § 4511.19, or another municipal ordinance relating to operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug of abuse, or a municipal ordinance relating to operating a vehicle with a prohibited concentration of alcohol in the blood, breath, or urine, or of R.C. §§ 2903.06 or 2903.07, or a municipal ordinance substantially similar to R.C. § 2903.07 in a case where the judge or jury found that the offender was under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug of abuse, the Mayor's Court or the judge of a court of record shall suspend the offender's driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privileges for not less than 60 days nor more than three years.
(2) If the offender has been convicted, within five years of the offense, of a violation of § 73.01 or any one of the other violations set forth in division (A)(1) above, the Mayor's Court or the trial judge of a court of record shall suspend the offender's driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privileges for not less than 120 days nor more than five years.
(3) If the offender has been convicted, within five years of the offense, of more than one violation of § 73.01 or the other violations set forth in division (A)(1) above, the Mayor's Court or the trial judge of a court of record shall suspend the offender's driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privileges for not less than 180 days nor more than ten years.
(B) Any person whose driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privilege has been suspended pursuant to division (A) above may petition the court for occupational driving privileges, alleging that the suspension would seriously affect the person's ability to continue his employment. Upon satisfactory proof that there is reasonable cause to believe that the suspension would seriously affect the person's ability to continue his employment, the court may grant the person occupational driving privileges during the period during which the suspension would otherwise be imposed, except that no court shall grant occupational driving privileges during the first 180 days of any suspension imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) above.
(C) After a driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privilege has been suspended or revoked pursuant to this section, the court that suspended or revoked the license, permit, or privilege shall cause the offender to deliver to the court the license or permit which, together with notice of the action of the court, shall be forwarded by the court or the clerk of the court to the Ohio Registrar of Motor Vehicles.
