The bill, titled "Isaiah's Law," amends the definition of a habitual traffic offender in Florida Statutes, specifically section 322.264. The revised definition now includes an additional offense for habitual traffic offenders: driving a motor vehicle without a valid license in violation of section 322.03. The previous language that allowed for the inclusion of driving a commercial motor vehicle while disqualified has been removed. This change broadens the scope of offenses that can lead to a habitual traffic offender designation.

The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining road safety by ensuring that individuals with a history of serious traffic violations are appropriately classified. The effective date for this law is set for July 1, 2026, allowing time for implementation and public awareness of the new definitions and criteria for habitual traffic offenders.
