Bill > HB2101

This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code by establishing a new time limit for initiating driver's license suspensions. Specifically, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) must now begin a driver's license suspension within six months of the sentencing date for an offense that would trigger a suspension. If PennDOT fails to initiate the suspension within this six-month window, the suspension becomes legally unenforceable, meaning it cannot be implemented by the department or upheld in Pennsylvania courts. This change appears designed to ensure timely and efficient processing of license suspensions and prevent delayed or stale enforcement actions against drivers who have committed offenses that would typically result in a license suspension. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving the department time to adjust its procedures to comply with the new six-month initiation requirement.
