				the applicant, the department may require an examination of the applicant by a
				licensed physician, psychiatrist, optometrist, or other competent medical
				authority before issuance of a driver's license. The expense of the examination
				must be paid by the applicant. The results of an examination within the
				previous six months meets the requirement of this subsection, unless the
				condition began or changed since that examination was conducted. If the
