Bill Summary

For legislation relative to hardship licenses for first time offenders. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts state law to allow first-time offenders who have had their driver's license revoked under certain provisions to apply for a "hardship license" three days after their court arraignment. The hardship license would allow them to drive for limited hours, such as for employment or educational purposes, if they can show that the causes of their past violations have been addressed. The bill also allows these offenders to apply for a limited license after six months from the date of conviction, if they can demonstrate hardship and show that the causes of their violations have been dealt with.
