mission of SATOP is to-

individuals about the dangers and consequences of alcohol- and drug-impaired
driving;
2. Educate youth about the
risks and consequences of alcohol and drug use and help them develop skills to
make healthy choices;
3. Motivate
individuals for personal change and growth; and
4. Contribute to the public health and safety
of Missouri by preventing and reducing the prevalence of alcohol- and
drug-impaired driving.
(B) Completion of a SATOP is a prerequisite
for driver's license reinstatement for individuals who-
1. Have pleaded guilty or have been found
guilty of an alcohol- or drug-impaired driving offense;
2. Have been referred as a result of an
administrative suspension or revocation of their driver's license, court order,
condition of probation, or plea bargain; or
