Bill Summary

Suspension of driver's licenses; child support and certain unsatisfied judgments; repealed. Repeals the suspension of driver's licenses for nonpayment of child support and certain unsatisfied judgments.

AI Summary

This bill repeals provisions that allow for the suspension or refusal to renew a driver's license due to nonpayment of child support or for certain unsatisfied judgments, with an exception for support obligors whose income is not greater than 250% of the federal poverty guidelines. It also removes references to a repealed article concerning license suspension for unsatisfied judgments and makes these changes retroactive to January 1, 2027, meaning any licenses suspended or revoked under the old rules before this date would be eligible for reinstatement under the new provisions.
