Bill Summary

Relative to motor vehicle license suspension record privacy. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the privacy of motor vehicle license suspension records by first removing a specific subsection, referred to as subsection (f) of section 22 of chapter 90, from existing law, and then directing the registrar of motor vehicles to erase all records related to past license suspensions that were enacted under that now-removed subsection. Additionally, the bill mandates that after driving privileges suspended under subsections (g), (h), or (i) of section 22 of chapter 90 expire, the registrar must prevent public access to all associated records, including details of the suspension, the original offense, any related hearings or appeals, and the subsequent reinstatement of the license. Finally, within 60 days of this act becoming law, the Commonwealth must certify to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation that the governor opposes laws that would revoke, suspend, issue, or reinstate driver's licenses for convicted drug offenders, and that the state legislature has also adopted a resolution opposing such laws.
