C. for a non-driving-related episode, on a regularly scheduled physician's statement as required in subpart 3a.
If a person has reason to know the requirements of items A and B, and willfully fails to report or willfully makes a material misrepresentation
to the department concerning the person's diabetic condition, the commissioner shall suspend the person's driver's license for six months. The
six-month suspension period will begin within 30 days from the date the department discovers the failure to report or misrepresentation.
