Demonstration of rehabilitation shall include:

2. Evidence that, with respect to any criminal conviction that constituted any part of the basis for the previous revocation or suspension, the person's civil rights have been fully restored pursuant to statute or other applicable recognized judicial or gubernatorial order.
3. Evidence that restitution has been made to any aggrieved party as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
