This bill aims to enhance public safety by expanding the circumstances under which a driver's license can be suspended. Specifically, it mandates the suspension of a driver's license for individuals believed to have committed criminal vehicular homicide or criminal vehicular operation. Additionally, it requires peace officers to report all cases where they suspect such offenses have occurred. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, particularly sections 171.187 and 629.344, to reflect these changes.

Key amendments include the removal of specific clauses related to prior offenses in the context of license suspensions and the introduction of new language that clarifies the effective date of these provisions as August 1, 2025. This effective date applies to both the certification of probable cause by peace officers and the subsequent license suspensions. Furthermore, the bill ensures that any time accrued during a suspension will be credited towards any revocation period if the individual is later convicted of the underlying offense.
