Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

10 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 3 costs, 3 mixed.

Therapy can help drivers regain licenses

Drivers ordered to attend a covered alcohol or drug program can use evidence-based therapy to meet program requirements. For the specified license after revocation, proof of satisfactory participation can count instead of waiting for program completion.

New traffic penalties for young drivers

For covered moving traffic offenses committed before age 18, the first judgment requires traffic survival school. A second brings a three-month license suspension, and a third brings a six-month suspension. The rule excludes offenses listed in state law.

Higher fuel tax for forest-product transporters

Qualifying vehicles transporting forest products lose the special 9-cent-per-gallon use-fuel tax rate and related refund. Their tax may rise, but the law does not state the standard rate or the amount of any individual refund.

Fewer driver license and ID hurdles

Driver and permit applicants must still prove their legal name, birth date, sex, address when required, and authorized presence. The department may ask for other information and must verify and keep any Social Security number provided. Nonoperating ID applicants no longer need to provide specified description and prior-license information. A new photo is required after 16 years instead of 12, and license holders no longer have to submit or mail the specified vision or medical report.

Alternative-fuel vehicles need no special plate

Alternative-fuel vehicle owners no longer need a special plate or sticker to qualify for the separate vehicle tax classification. The law does not state how this classification changes the tax owed.

Blood transport vehicles can use HOV lanes

Qualifying nonprofit blood transport vehicles can use high-occupancy lanes even when they have fewer than two occupants. They must display removable signs on both sides and the rear saying they carry human blood or blood products. When a lane is degraded, they rank seventh in the use priority list.

Honorary consular plates are replaced

The transportation department must recall honorary consular official special plates issued under the repealed law and give each affected person a standard plate. The text does not state a replacement fee or explain other practical effects of repealing the law.

Aircraft owners get 30 days to object

For late aircraft registration assessments, notice is complete when mailed or sent electronically. Owners have 30 days from then to object in writing and request a hearing. Otherwise, the assessment becomes final.

Junk vehicle notices move online

When the department cannot identify an interested person or mailed notice is returned, it must post junk-vehicle notices on its website for at least 30 days. This replaces one-time publication in a county newspaper.

Primitive roads bring warnings and liability limits

The transportation director can designate a state highway or route as a primitive road. The department must post signs warning that the road is not regularly maintained and is used at your own risk. The state and its employees are generally not liable for injury or damage from using these roads. The exception is intentional injury or gross negligence by an employee acting within their job.
