SB 5732: Traffic infractions

Concerning traffic infractions for drivers whose licenses or privileges are suspended or revoked.

Summary

  • Allows for relicensing diversion programs in counties or cities of any size for persons who commit driving with license suspended in the third degree (DWLS 3) by driving with a license that has been suspended or revoked for failing to respond to a notice of traffic infraction, failing to appear at a requested hearing, or failing to comply with the terms of a notice of traffic infraction or citation, while placing various limitations on participation.
  • Requires a court or prosecuting attorney in a jurisdiction that does not have a relicensing diversion program to provide an individual with an abstract and a list of unpaid traffic fines if that person commits DWLS 3 in the circumstances listed above.
  • Requires, subject to available funds, the reporting of data regarding relicensing diversion programs to the Administrative Office of the Courts in order for it to develop a best practice model.
