House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to revise laws concerning driver's licenses in Montana, specifically addressing the suspension of a driver's license for individuals driving without insurance. The bill mandates that the Department of Motor Vehicles must suspend the driver's license or driving privileges of any person who knowingly operates a vehicle without a valid insurance policy or certificate, as required by state law. However, the bill also stipulates that the department cannot suspend the license if the individual can provide proof of insurance as permitted under existing regulations.

Additionally, the bill amends sections 61-5-208 and 61-8-1011 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). It clarifies the definitions of "conviction" for driving under the influence and outlines the implications of prior offenses on sentencing. The amendments include provisions for the suspension of licenses related to various offenses, including those involving chemical dependency treatment. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance accountability for uninsured drivers while ensuring that individuals who can demonstrate compliance with insurance requirements are not unduly penalized.
