Jason R. Cozmanoff appeals the trial court’s denial of his petition for specialized driving privileges. We affirm.
In March 2012, Cozmanoff was driving and struck four correctional officers who were running alongside the road, resulting in the death of one of the officers and injuries to the others, and Cozmanoff did not stop. On February 7, 2014, following a jury trial, the court sentenced him to four years for reckless homicide as a class C felony under Count I; one year for criminal recklessness as a class A misdemeanor under Count II; one and one-half years for each of two counts of criminal recklessness as class D felonies under Counts III and IV; four years for failure to stop after an accident resulting in death as a class C felony under Count V; and six months for reckless driving as a class B misdemeanor under Count XIII. The court ordered the sentences in Counts I through V to be served consecutively and concurrent to that in Count XIII for an aggregate sentence of twelve years.

On May 1, 2019, Cozmanoff filed a verified petition for specialized driving privileges citing Ind. Code § 9-30-16-3.3 On May 17, 2019, Cozmanoff filed an amended petition for specialized driving privileges citing Ind. Code § 9-30-16-44 and alleging the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles gave notice to him that his license would be suspended from June 14, 2019, until June 14, 2022. He sought specialized driving privileges to travel for work, visitation with his children, medical appointments, and grocery and warehouse or department store visits.

On June 3, 2019, the court held a hearing and entered an order finding that Cozmanoff “is not eligible for a specialized driving privilege under I.C. 9-30-13-4 (repealed), now codified under I.C. 9-30-16-2(c)” and denying his petition for specialized driving privileges.

Ind. Code §§ 9-30-16, governing “specialized driving privileges,” became effective on January 1, 2015. See Pub. L. No. 217-2014 § 154 (eff. Jan. 1, 2015). Ind. Code § 9-30-16-3(a) provides in part that, “[i]f a court orders a suspension of driving privileges under this chapter, . . . the court may stay the suspension and grant a specialized driving privilege as set forth in this section.” Subsections (b) through (d) of Ind. Code § 9-30-16-3 set forth the requirements of a petition for specialized driving privileges and indicate that privileges granted shall be for 180 days to two and one-half years and that the terms of specialized driving privileges must be determined by a court. Ind. Code § 9-30- 16-4(a) provides that “[a]n individual whose driving privileges have been suspended by the bureau by an administrative action and not by a court order may petition a court for specialized driving privileges as described in section 3(b) through 3(d) of this chapter.” Ind. Code § 9-30-16-2(c) provides:
If a person is convicted of an offense that includes the element of causing the death of another person and the offense involved the operation of a motor vehicle or was an offense under IC 9-30-5, the court shall order that the person’s driving privileges are suspended for a period of at least two (2) years and not more than the maximum allowable period of incarceration of the criminal penalty for the offense. A person whose driving privileges are suspended under this section is not eligible for specialized driving privileges under section 3 of this chapter.
Here, the trial court’s February 7, 2014 order provides “the Court orders that the defendant’s operator’s license be suspended for a period of three (3) years as to Count I, by the Bureau of Motion [sic] Vehicles.” Appellant’s Appendix Volume II at 29. The order was consistent with Ind. Code § 9-30-13-4 (repealed eff. Jan. 1, 2015) in effect at the time. We observe that, prior to January 1, 2015, due to his conviction for reckless homicide as a result of an automobile accident, Cozmanoff would not have been eligible for restricted driving privileges. See Ind. Code §§ 9-24-15-1 and -2 (repealed eff. Jan. 1, 2015). Additionally, pursuant to Ind. Code § 9-30-16-2(c), he is not eligible for specialized driving privileges under Ind. Code § 9-30-16-3 because his offense under Count I included the element of causing the death of another person and the offense involved the operation of a motor vehicle.
…
We conclude the trial court’s denial of Cozmanoff’s petition for specialized driving privileges gives effect to the legislature’s intent. For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
Affirmed.
