effective when the department receives all of the documents and fees
required under subdivision (a) and shall remain in effect until the final
day of the original suspension imposed under paragraph (1) of subdivision
(a) of Section 13352, or until the date all reinstatement requirements
described in Section 13352 have been met, whichever date is later, and
