Bill > HF568

This bill modifies the public safety commissioner's authority to suspend drivers' licenses. It prohibits the commissioner from suspending a license solely for a person's failure to appear in court for a petty misdemeanor or for a violation of driving without a valid license. The bill also prohibits the commissioner from suspending a license solely for a person's failure to pay a fine. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to retroactively reinstate licenses that were suspended solely for those reasons, and provides a process for notifying affected individuals. The bill aims to reduce license suspensions for minor offenses and provide a pathway for driver's license reinstatement.
