Bill > S2482

This bill amends existing law to expand the list of offenses for which a person driving without a valid license, or after their license has been denied, revoked, or suspended, would be in violation. Specifically, it adds offenses such as reckless driving, operating a motor vehicle in a way that results in death, being designated a "frequent offender" (meaning someone who repeatedly commits traffic violations), and violating the terms of a conditional hardship order (a special permit allowing limited driving under certain circumstances) to the existing list of violations, which already includes driving under the influence of controlled substances or alcohol, and refusing a chemical test. The bill also updates some terminology, changing "narcotic drug" to "controlled substance" and "refusing" to "refusal," and clarifies penalties for repeat offenses, including mandatory fines and increased jail time for subsequent convictions related to these expanded offenses.
