The bill establishes a new "reintegration driver's license" for individuals who have been released from custody after serving at least 180 consecutive days in a correctional facility. To qualify, applicants must be 18 years or older, have had their driver's license suspended or revoked due to specific violations prior to incarceration, and meet certain conditions regarding insurance and court orders. The bill outlines the application process, prohibits fees for the issuance of this license, and specifies that it will expire 15 months after issuance without the possibility of renewal. Additionally, it allows for the issuance of a regular driver's license after one year of holding the reintegration license, provided certain conditions are met.

To support the implementation of this new license, the bill includes provisions for transferring funds from the general fund to various accounts within the Department of Public Safety, totaling $450,000 for fiscal year 2024. This includes allocations for criminal apprehension, vehicle forfeiture, traumatic brain injury accounts, and electronic alcohol-monitoring programs. The bill also stipulates that certain funds will not be subject to transfer to the general fund until July 1, 2026, ensuring that the necessary resources are available for the reintegration program. The effective date for the reintegration driver's license provisions is set for April 1, 2024, while the funding transfers will take effect on July 1, 2023.
