Bill > H0839

This bill makes several changes to Florida's driver licensing laws. First, it prohibits the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) from accepting a resubmission of a driver's license suspension that was issued due to a failure to comply with civil penalties or appear in court. Second, it allows the clerk of court to remove a "habitual traffic offender" designation, which is a status given to drivers with multiple serious traffic violations, if the offender meets specific conditions, particularly related to proving compliance after a third offense of driving with a suspended or revoked license. Finally, the bill authorizes the DHSMV to issue a driver's license to an individual whose license is currently suspended or revoked in another state, provided the offense committed in that other state would not have been grounds for suspension or revocation in Florida.
