AI Summary

This bill amends existing law concerning junior operators, which refers to drivers under a certain age who have restrictions on their licenses. Specifically, it mandates that if a police officer issues a written warning or a citation for a civil motor vehicle infraction (a minor traffic violation) or a criminal motor vehicle law violation to a junior operator who is not an emancipated minor (meaning they are not legally independent of their parents or guardians), the officer must mail a copy of that warning or citation to the junior operator's parent or guardian. This provision aims to ensure that parents or guardians are informed about any traffic violations committed by their underage, non-emancipated children.
