Bill > AB809

This bill enacts the Driver License Compact, which is an agreement between party states to promote compliance with motor vehicle laws and make the reciprocal recognition of driver's licenses more equitable. The compact requires states to report convictions of drivers from other party states to their home states, which must then give the same effect to those out-of-state convictions as they would to in-state convictions for certain serious offenses like manslaughter, DUI, and failure to stop and render aid. The compact also restricts the issuance of new licenses to applicants who have had their license suspended or revoked in another party state. The bill aims to enhance road safety by facilitating information-sharing and reciprocal enforcement of motor vehicle laws across state lines.
