result or test refusal is set aside;

privilege under paragraph 9 of subsection A of this section shall be

governed by Section 6-211 of this title; provided, any modification

under this subsection shall apply to Class D motor vehicles only.

injury which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes

serious, permanent disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of

injury which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes

the function of any bodily member or organ.

H. Any person whose driving privileges are or have been

canceled or denied pursuant to this section, except for paragraph 1,

2 or 8 of subsection A of this section, may file a petition for

relief based upon error or hardship.

1. The petition shall be filed in the district court which

notified Service Oklahoma. If the Notification originated in a

municipal court, the petition shall be filed in the district court

of the county in which the municipal court is located. A copy of

the Notification and a copy of Service Oklahoma's action canceling

or denying driving privileges pursuant to this section shall be

attached to the petition.

2. The district court shall conduct a hearing on the petition

and may determine the matter de novo, without notice to Service

Oklahoma and, if applicable, without notice to the municipal court;

provided, the district court shall not consider a collateral attack

upon the merits of any conviction or determination which has become

final.

3. The district court may deny the petition or, in its

discretion, issue a written Order to Service Oklahoma to decrease

the period of cancellation or denial to any period or issue a

written Order to vacate Service Oklahoma's action taken pursuant to

this section, in its entirety. The content of the Order shall not

grant or purport to grant any driving privileges to the person;

however, such Order may direct Service Oklahoma to do so if the

person is otherwise eligible therefor. The petitioner is

responsible for his or her own attorney fees. However, if the

petitioner is granted relief for error, then the party that

committed the error may be ordered to pay attorney fees and costs.

Unless all persons or agencies the court had reason to believe may

have had relevant information related to the court record and

departmental action have been given notice of the petition, attorney

fees and costs shall not be awarded against any party. In no event

shall Service Oklahoma be liable for attorney fees and costs for

suspending, revoking, canceling or denying a driver license based

upon reasonable reliance on a notice from a court requiring the

revocation, suspension, cancellation or denial of the driver license

according to law.
