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

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

or similar privilege or rule against disclosure.
