Bill Summary
Under current law, the penalty for a person who enters or gambles at a casino when the person is under 21 years of age includes a mandatory six-month driver license suspension or postponement. This bill would make the suspension or postponement an option that the court could impose, based on the facts and circumstances of the violation from which the court may conclude that such a penalty is warranted, and the court will be required to consider the potential effect of the loss of driving privileges on the person's ability to be pursue education or employment.
AI Summary
This bill makes the six-month driver's license suspension an optional penalty, rather than a mandatory one, for a person under the legal age of 21 who enters or gambles at a casino. The court will have the discretion to impose the suspension based on the facts and circumstances of the violation, and must consider the potential effect of the loss of driving privileges on the person's ability to pursue education or employment. Additionally, the court may require the person to participate in a compulsive gambling prevention, education, and treatment program.
