Bill > S1370

This bill, known as "Isaiah's Law," amends Florida Statute 322.264 to revise the definition of a "habitual traffic offender," which is someone whose driving record shows a specific number of convictions for serious traffic offenses within a five-year period. The key change expands the list of offenses that count towards this designation by adding "driving a motor vehicle without a valid license in violation of s. 322.03" to the existing categories, which include offenses like vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence (DUI), felonies involving a vehicle, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and failing to stop after an accident. This update aims to capture more instances of unlicensed driving as a factor in habitual offender status, with the changes taking effect on July 1, 2026.
