AI Summary
This bill requires each judicial circuit in Florida to establish a Driver License Reinstatement Days program to help people with suspended or revoked driver's licenses get their licenses reinstated. The program involves participation from various entities, including the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, state attorney's office, public defender's office, courts, and community organizations. The bill sets requirements for scheduling the events, allowing for waiver of certain fees, and establishing eligibility criteria for the program. Individuals with suspensions or revocations due to driving without a valid license, unpaid penalties, or failure to appear in court may be eligible, but those with certain other violations, such as DUI or child support non-payment, are not eligible. The clerk of court and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles are responsible for verifying the necessary information for license reinstatement under the program.
