Introduced by: Thomas K. Norment, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Suspended and revoked driver's licenses; penalties. Provides for increased penalties for driving while a driver's license is suspended including minimum, mandatory terms for multiple offenses. The bill clarifies unclear language concerning the method of tallying multiple convictions and corrects omissions in identifying eligible convictions for enhanced DUI punishment. The bill also creates a minimum 10-day punishment for the third offense of driving on a suspended or revoked license or driving while declared a habitual offender and for certain other multiple offenses. The bill also imposes a mandatory three-year suspension for driving while intoxicated if the driver was at the time driving while his license was under suspension for reckless driving. Finally, the bill provides for the issuance of a restricted permit to a person who would otherwise have his license suspended for failure to pay fines and costs. Identical to HB 355.
