This bill aims to revise various aspects of driving laws, specifically focusing on the authority to suspend or revoke restricted licenses, the definition of areas where careless driving may occur, and the penalties associated with reckless driving. It amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 61-5-113, 61-8-302, and 61-8-715, to reflect these changes.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation to support the implementation of these revisions. The changes are intended to enhance road safety and clarify the legal framework surrounding driving offenses, ensuring that penalties are appropriately aligned with the severity of the violations. The bill also establishes effective dates for the new provisions.
