In 1986 Florida Statute 322.271 expanded the Business and Employment Purposes and Hardship Licenses provisions to allow individuals with five and ten year revocations to apply for the DUI Special Supervision Services.

Applicants for Special Supervision Services must: complete the Level II DUI Program, complete required substance abuse treatment; refrain from operating a motor vehicle for established time periods; and abstain from the use of alcohol and other drugs for established time periods prior to application and while in the Special Supervision Program. Applicants must demonstrate a significant change in lifestyle and behavior to be considered trustworthy to drive on a restricted basis.

The applicant, upon approval by DHSMV, must report to the local DUI Program for supervision, urine screening and relapse prevention planning.
