Bill > SB370

This bill alters the assessment of points and penalties associated with driving a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license or privilege to drive is suspended for failure to satisfy a judgment. The key provisions include: - Individuals who violate the law by driving with a suspended license due to failure to satisfy a judgment will be subject to a fine not exceeding $500, must appear in court, and cannot prepay the fine. This is different from other license suspension violations, which can result in imprisonment and higher fines. - The bill also specifies that 3 points will be assessed against the driver's record for violating the law by driving with a suspended license due to failure to satisfy a judgment, as opposed to 12 points for other license suspension violations. - The bill defines "judgment" as any final judgment or settlement for damages arising from the ownership, maintenance, or use of a vehicle required to be registered in the state.
