shall expire on the date of the provisional licensee's nineteenth birthday,]
whether an original issuance or a renewal, shall expire on the first birthday
of the licensee occurring not less than eight years after the date of the
issuance of the license, unless sooner revoked or suspended; provided that:
(1) The license shall expire on the first birthday of the licensee occurring not less than four years after the date of the issuance if, at the time, the licensee is twenty-four years of age or younger;
(2) The license shall
expire on the first birthday of the licensee occurring not less than two years
after the date of the issuance of the license if, at that time, the licensee is
seventy-two years of age or older; [and]
(3) If the licensee is
a legal immigrant, the license shall expire no later than the licensee's
authorized period of stay in the United States[.]; provided further
that this paragraph shall not apply to a person who is a citizen of a country
having a valid Compact of Free Association with the United States and who
provides proof of legal presence in the United States as defined by the
director by rule; and
(4) This section
shall not apply to provisional licenses issued under section 286-102.6, which
shall expire on the date of the provisional licensee's nineteenth birthday.
