Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 12810 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.
AI Summary
This bill requires that when a court dismisses a misdemeanor case that includes a traffic violation for which points are normally assessed on a driver's record, the court must inform the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The DMV will then be required to add the applicable violation points to the driver's record, even though the case was dismissed. This is a change from current law, which allows judges to offer "diversion" programs for misdemeanor offenses, where successful completion leads to dismissal of the charges. Previously, if a case was dismissed through diversion, the points associated with the violation might not have been added to the driver's record.
