Summary

The bill updates North Carolina’s drunk‑driving laws by mandating written explanations from magistrates when they find no probable cause in implied‑consent cases and by setting new fees for restoring revoked licenses. It also streamlines pre‑trial revocation, permits certain alcohol and drug screening tests to establish probable cause, aligns standards for transportation‑network drivers with bus drivers, offers a pathway for repeat offenders to regain driving privileges, and creates a felony for adults who help minors obtain alcohol that leads to serious injury.
