The bill mandates the commissioner of public safety to conduct a comprehensive review of the current statutes and administrative rules governing the reinstatement of driving privileges following a driving while impaired (DWI) incident. The review aims to identify any requirements that unnecessarily hinder individuals from regaining their driving privileges, particularly those that involve obtaining documents from the distant past, which may be overly burdensome or impossible for the average person to secure.
Furthermore, if the commissioner identifies any such impediments that are not mandated by statute, they are authorized to amend or update the relevant rules or internal policies to streamline the reinstatement process, provided that these changes align with public safety considerations. The commissioner is also required to submit a report by February 15, 2024, detailing any recommended changes to statutes, rules, or policies, as well as any actions taken to facilitate driving privilege reinstatement.
