The bill amends existing laws regarding the suspension of driver's licenses due to traffic infractions, specifically allowing for training as an alternative to suspension. Under the new provisions, if a driver accumulates three moving violations within a year or four within two years, their license would typically be suspended for 60 days. However, the bill introduces a provision that allows individuals to complete a safe driving course before the suspension takes effect. If they complete the course, the suspension can be terminated early, and a one-year probation period will begin. This early termination can only occur once every five years.

Additionally, the bill modifies the reissue fee structure for licenses, maintaining a fee of $75 for most cases but increasing it to $170 for certain violations. It also clarifies that multiple infractions from a single traffic stop count as one occasion and specifies that any infractions during the probation period will result in additional penalties. The act is set to take effect on April 1, 2026.
