Relative to the issuance of motor vehicle hardship licenses. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law regarding penalties for operating a motor vehicle under the influence. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Allowing a person with a previous conviction for operating under the influence (OUI) whose license has been suspended for 3 years due to refusal to submit to a chemical test to apply for and be granted a hardship license for employment or educational purposes after 1 year of the suspension or during the pendency of any appeal. 2. Inserting language in the existing law to allow for the issuance of a hardship license, except as otherwise provided in the subparagraph being amended. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and opportunities for individuals with prior OUI convictions to obtain a limited license for certain purposes, such as getting to work or school, during their license suspension period.
