(a) If a person has been issued a restricted license and thereafter the employment, medical treatment or education which forms the basis upon which such license was issued terminates and the person becomes unemployed, discontinues his or her medical treatment or discontinues his or her education, the restricted license must be surrendered to the issuing office of the department which issued the license within three days of such termination of employment or education.

(c) The provisions of this section shall not apply to a situation in which the employment or education or medical treatment upon the issuance of a restricted license was based is terminated but other employment or education or medical treatment which would support the issuance of a restricted license is obtained within three days of the termination of the previous employment or education. In such case, the licensee shall apply for an amended restricted license at the appropriate issuing office of the department.
