Whenever a person who is seventeen (17) years of age or younger but not less than
fourteen (14) years of age is convicted of a violation of any offense in this chapter
or is adjudicated delinquent as a result of any act which would be an offense under
this chapter, the court may, in addition to any other penalty:
(a) If the person has a motor vehicle or motorcycle operator's license, recommend
the revocation of the license for a period not to exceed one (1) year, if it is the
person's first offense;
(b) If the person has a motor vehicle or motorcycle operator's license, recommend
the revocation of the license for two (2) years, if it is a second or subsequent
offense so long as the suggested period of revocation does not extend beyond
the person's eighteenth birthday; and
(c) If the person has no motor vehicle or motorcycle operator's license, in the
event of a first offense, recommend that no such license shall be issued to
such person for the period described in paragraph (a) of this subsection and in
the event of a second or subsequent offense, recommend that no license shall
be issued to such person for the period described in paragraph (b) of this
subsection.
Each court recommending the revocation of a motor vehicle operator's license or
motorcycle operator's license or recommending the denial of such license pursuant
to this section shall notify the Transportation Cabinet of the violation and the terms
of the suggested revocation or denial.
Upon notice of such recommendation, the Transportation Cabinet shall forthwith
revoke the license of that person, or deny to that person a license for the period
recommended by the court. If through inadvertence the defendant should be issued
a license, the cabinet shall forthwith cancel it.
Licenses revoked pursuant to this section shall be retained by the Transportation
Cabinet for the period of revocation and shall be returned to the person after the
expiration of the revocation period upon payment of the reinstatement fees and
satisfaction of other requirements for the reinstatement of revoked licenses as may
be required by the Transportation Cabinet.
Revocations of operator's licenses and denials of licenses pursuant to this section
shall be in addition to any other suspension, revocation, or denial of motor vehicle
or motorcycle operator's licenses authorized by law.
