Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill removes sections 302.309 and 302.341 of the Revised Statutes and replaces them with new rules that let the Director of Revenue return a suspended license once the suspension ends and require revoked drivers to reapply for a new license. It also permits courts or the director to grant limited driving privileges for specific needs—such as work, medical care, school, treatment programs, essential shopping, or other hardships—subject to proof of insurance and, in some cases, a certified ignition interlock device. The changes aim to give people who lose their licenses a way to drive for essential purposes while maintaining safety safeguards.
