The bill, titled "Isaiah's Law," amends the definition of "habitual traffic offender" in Florida Statutes, specifically section 322.264. It revises the criteria for designation as a habitual traffic offender by adding a new offense to the list of qualifying convictions. The new offense includes "driving a motor vehicle without a valid license in violation of s. 322.03," while also removing the previous requirement that included "driving a commercial motor vehicle while his or her privilege is disqualified."

In addition to these changes, the bill clarifies that any violations of federal law or laws from other states that are similar to the specified offenses will also count towards the habitual traffic offender designation. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026.
