information and as soon as practicable shall arrange for a re-examin-
ation of each such person who holds a driver's license, and if the per-

person. Information obtained by the department from the Depart-

tence is not a matter of public record, and use of any list or names
obtained through such access to the records for commercial or poli-
tical purposes is prohibited.

ize the licensee to operate any motor vehicle of the class (es) specified
