This bill mandates that the driver's manual provided by the Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission include specific information about a driver's rights and responsibilities during a police stop. The inclusion of this information will be done in consultation with the Attorney General to ensure accuracy and comprehensiveness. The bill also allows for the distribution of existing copies of the driver's manual before the updated version is printed with the new information.
The act is set to take effect on the first day of the seventh month following its enactment, although the Chief Administrator may take necessary anticipatory administrative actions to implement the provisions of the bill prior to that date. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of drivers' rights, thereby promoting safer interactions between drivers and law enforcement officers.
