Currently, if a Missouri resident fails to dispose of charges or fails to appear in court, if required, for a moving traffic violation, the court is required to notify the Director of the Department of Revenue of the failure and order the director to suspend the defendant s driving privileges if the charges are not disposed of and paid within 30 days. This bill makes it discretionary for the court to notify the department and order license suspension.
