Bill > SB0932

This bill establishes a five-member "distance to drive" program study committee to explore the potential implementation of a new driver's license reinstatement program for criminal defendants. The committee will include representatives from the state legislature, judiciary, law enforcement, and a public member with criminal justice experience, all appointed by different state leaders. The committee's primary responsibilities include reviewing data on driver's license suspensions, assessing the potential benefits of a distance to drive program for the state's criminal justice system, studying best practices from treatment court programs, consulting criminal justice experts, and compiling a comprehensive report with findings and potential legislative recommendations. The committee is required to submit its report to the general assembly by July 1, 2026, after which the committee will be dissolved. Members will not receive compensation but will be reimbursed for meeting-related expenses. The bill takes effect immediately for appointment purposes and fully becomes operational on July 1, 2025, with the goal of potentially creating a more rehabilitative approach to driver's license reinstatement for individuals involved in the criminal justice system.
