Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.

Quicker license suspensions for repeat offenses

The Secretary of State can suspend or revoke your license without a prior hearing if records show you meet listed grounds. If you get three or more moving‑violation convictions in any 12 months, your license is subject to suspension or revocation, and the action must be entered within six months after your last conviction. If your unlawful driving caused a crash that injured someone needing immediate treatment, your suspension must start no later than six months after the related conviction or one year after the crash, whichever is later.

Tougher Move Over rules and fines

When an emergency vehicle approaches with lights or a siren, you must pull right and stop until it passes. If a stopped emergency vehicle has flashing lights, move over a lane when safe, or slow down and give space. Slow down, yield, and be ready to stop for emergency workers and pedestrians at a scene. Fines are $250–$10,000 for a first offense and $750–$10,000 for repeats; damage is a Class A misdemeanor; injury or death is a Class 4 felony. License suspensions are 90 days–1 year for damage, 180 days–2 years for injury, and 2 years for a death. Courts may also order community service. The state creates the Scott’s Law Fund for education and off‑duty enforcement, and local tickets fund hire‑back patrols in work zones.

Interlock devices required and fees

If your license is revoked or suspended for certain alcohol or drug offenses, you may only drive on a restricted permit in a vehicle with an ignition interlock device. If your permit is for work, you can drive your employer’s vehicle without an interlock when it is used only for work. This exemption is not available after a second or later DUI within five years until you finish a one‑year revocation or a one‑year interlock‑restricted permit. You must pay up to $30 per month to the DUI Administration Fund while you hold an interlock‑restricted permit. The Secretary sets the exact amount and collection rules.

Restricted permits for hardship or work

You can apply for a restricted driving permit to relieve undue hardship. It can cover trips for work, within your job, medical care, treatment, school, or daycare for a household member. The Secretary sets the term, but all permits end no later than two years after issue. You may have to finish a remedial program or lose the permit. If your license is being suspended for three moving violations in 12 months, you can keep driving for work by filing a sworn affidavit, paying the fee, and getting an occupational permit before the suspension starts. This does not apply to CDL‑required drivers, and lying is perjury and can cause revocation. After the later of five years from your last revocation or release from prison, you may apply if you show at least three years of continuous abstinence from alcohol and illegal drugs and complete treatment; these permits only allow vehicles with an ignition interlock. No restricted permits go to anyone under 16, and no permit lets a disqualified CDL holder drive a commercial vehicle.
