The 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 such beliefs exist. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically 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 suspension and the introduction of new language that clarifies the effective date of these provisions as August 1, 2025. This effective date applies to certifications made by peace officers and the subsequent actions taken by the commissioner regarding license suspensions and revocations. The bill also 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.
