cancel license for certain ailments; appeal.

Whenever Service Oklahoma is furnished with information or, from

the records on file in Service Oklahoma, it is established that the

holder of a driver license is afflicted with a physical disease with

a history of seizures, or mental disease, or momentary lapses of

consciousness or any other ailment which may result in temporary

loss of control or partial control of a motor vehicle, Service

Oklahoma may, in its discretion, execute an order of cancellation of

any driver license issued to such individual, or, should such

information be available at the time of application for a driver

license, Service Oklahoma may execute an order denying the issuance

of said license to any such individual and shall cause any such

license that may have been issued to be picked up or to be delivered

to Service Oklahoma as specified for other such orders. Every

physician or surgeon, including doctors of medicine and osteopathy,

examining, attending or treating an individual for any illness or

injury that would impair the ability of the individual in any manner

as to affect the performance of the person to operate a motor

vehicle, may make a written report of the diagnosis to Service

Oklahoma. Service Oklahoma may, in its discretion, suspend or

cancel the license of such person for such period of time as in its

judgment is justified.

In addition thereto, any person or physician or any medical

personnel participating in good faith and without negligence or

malicious intent in making of a report pursuant to this act shall

have the immunity from civil liability that might otherwise be

incurred or imposed. Any such participant shall have the same

immunity with respect to participation in any judicial proceeding

resulting from such report.

Provided further that, in any proceeding resulting from a report

made pursuant to this act or in any proceeding where such a report

or any contents thereof are sought to be introduced in evidence,

such report or contents or any other fact or facts related thereto,

or the condition of the individual who is the subject of the report

shall only be admitted in evidence in actions regarding the

revocation, suspension, cancellation or denial of the subject's

driver's license and shall not be considered to be a public record

provided that the report shall not be excluded on the ground that

the matter is or may be the subject of a physician-patient privilege

or similar privilege or rule against disclosure.

Any person whose license has been canceled or denied under the

provisions of this section shall have the right of appeal from said

order, as provided under Section 6-211 of this title.
