13:19-5.2 Physically unqualified pending hearing

   When it shall appear to the Chief Administrator that a licensed driver or an applicant for a learner's permit or driver's license suffers or has suffered from recurrent convulsive seizures, recurrent periods of impaired consciousness or from impairment or loss of motor coordination, the Chief Administrator may, upon notice and an opportunity to be heard, suspend the driving privileges of, or refuse to issue a learner's permit or a driver's license to such person as physically unqualified to safely operate a motor vehicle; provided, however, the Chief Administrator may, in the exercise of his or her discretion, suspend such driver's license or refuse to issue such learner's permit or driver's license pending hearing, if it shall appear to the Chief Administrator to be in the interest of public safety that immediate action be taken.
