AI Summary

This bill allows political subdivisions (cities, villages, towns, or counties) to enact ordinances authorizing law enforcement officers to impound vehicles used in reckless driving offenses. The impoundment can occur if the person cited for reckless driving is the owner of the vehicle and has a prior reckless driving conviction for which a forfeiture was imposed but not fully paid. The vehicle can be impounded until the prior forfeiture is paid and a deposit is made for the current citation. The bill also clarifies the definition of "chauffeur" and removes a definition of "political subdivision" that is no longer needed.
