2020 SESSION
HB 1196 Driver's license; suspension for nonpayment of fines or costs, reinstatement of privilege to drive.
Introduced by: Alfonso H. Lopez | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Suspension of driver's license for nonpayment of fines or costs. Repeals the requirement that the driver's license of a person convicted of any violation of the law who fails or refuses to provide for immediate payment of fines or costs be suspended. The bill also removes a provision allowing the court to require a defendant to present a summary prepared by the Department of Motor Vehicles of the other courts in which the defendant also owes fines and costs. The bill requires the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles to return or reinstate any person's driver's license that was suspended prior to July 1, 2019, solely for nonpayment of fines or costs. Such person does not have to pay a reinstatement fee. The bill also repeals the Nonresident Violator Compact of 1977. This bill incorporates HB 17 and is identical to SB 1.
