This bill amends R.S. 32:863(A)(3)(a) to modify the sanctions for violations related to required vehicle liability security. It establishes that sanctions for violations will remain in effect until proof of liability security is provided and all reinstatement fees are paid. The bill specifies that sanctions for certain violations will last between twelve to eighteen months, and outlines a tiered fee structure based on the duration of the lapse in coverage. Notably, it introduces provisions that exempt the imposition of reinstatement fees if the lapse was for ten days or less, or if it was the insured's first violation for five days or less, provided that immediate notice of cancellation was given.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to adopt rules and regulations to ensure compliance with the new provisions. It also sets a cap on the total fees owed for multiple violations and establishes that after sixty days from the notice, all fees will be considered final and delinquent. The effective date of the bill is contingent upon the governor's signature or the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature.
