Bill Summary

For legislation relative to the suspension of drivers licenses for habitual offenders. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 22F of Chapter 90 of the General Laws to increase the minimum license revocation period for habitual traffic offenders. Specifically, it creates a new "level 3" category of habitual offenders who have not had their license restored for over 5 years and have committed certain serious driving offenses, such as operating under the influence or after license suspension. The registrar must then revoke their license for a period of up to life, but not less than 5 years, until they complete a driver improvement course and pass a competency exam. The bill also allows the registrar to revoke the license of any level 3 habitual offender who commits a future automobile law violation for up to life.
