What’s in it
6A(2) (reckless driving or eluding law enforcement) and who is ordered released may, as a condition of that release, be subject to a court order immediately suspending the defendant’s driver’s license and prohibiting the defendant from operating a motor vehicle, and be placed under supervision. The bill requires the clerk of the district court to, upon entry of the order, forward notice of the order suspending the defendant’s driver’s license to the department of transportation (DOT). Upon receipt of the notice, the DOT must note the suspension in the defendant’s driving record.
Read the full explanation
The bill prohibits the DOT from issuing a new license to the defendant until the court terminates the order.6A(2). Therefore, the bill does not apply to such defendants.
