Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Older traffic sanctions excluded from driving reviews

Kansas district and municipal courts and the Division of Vehicles cannot count certain convictions or sanctions more than five years old. These must be for failure to comply with a traffic citation. The ban applies when deciding whether driving privileges should be suspended or restricted, and it applies retroactively. It does not automatically restore driving privileges.

Drivers lose five-year notices about driving eligibility

The Kansas Division of Vehicles no longer has to mail an eligibility notice five years after a conviction. This applies to people whose driving privileges remain suspended or restricted and have not been restored. The notice concerned possible eligibility for driving privileges. Removing it does not change who qualifies.
