Bill Summary
Modifies provisions relating to driver's licenses
AI Summary
This bill modifies Missouri's driver's license laws, primarily focusing on limited driving privileges and license suspension procedures. Under the new provisions, courts and the director of revenue can grant limited driving privileges to individuals with suspended licenses for various reasons, including work, medical treatment, education, attending religious services, and accessing essential businesses. The bill expands the list of circumstances under which someone can request a limited driving privilege, adding places of worship and essential businesses to the existing reasons. For individuals with previous alcohol-related driving violations, the bill allows for limited driving privileges if they can demonstrate they no longer pose a public safety threat and install a certified ignition interlock device with photo identification technology. The bill also modifies the process for license suspension due to traffic violations, creating a new procedure specifically for minor traffic violations that allows for a 30-day temporary driving permit in certain circumstances. Additionally, the bill changes some language around how courts may notify the director of revenue about license suspensions, shifting from mandatory to discretionary language. These changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, and are intended to provide more flexible options for individuals with suspended licenses while maintaining public safety standards.
