This bill amends K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 8-2110 to address traffic regulations related to failure to comply with traffic citations. It prohibits courts and the division of vehicles from considering any sanctions that are more than five years old when determining suspended or restricted driving privileges. Additionally, the bill eliminates certain notice requirements for the division of vehicles concerning suspended or restricted drivers' licenses. The bill also allows individuals to petition for restricted driving privileges under specific circumstances, such as when their driving privileges have been revoked solely for failure to comply with a traffic citation.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for the waiver of reinstatement fees for individuals who can demonstrate financial hardship, and it mandates that courts consider alternatives to suspension or restriction of driving privileges, such as payment plans or community service. The language of the bill clarifies that "substantial compliance" means adhering to court orders regarding payments and penalties. The existing section of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 8-2110 is repealed, and the new provisions will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
