Version:

Part I:  Authorizes the impoundment of motor vehicles when certain traffic violations have been alleged or committed.  Provides that if a law enforcement officer lawfully stops a motor vehicle and the operator is cited for driving without a valid license, the officer shall not permit the operator to resume the use of the motor vehicle.  Requires the motor vehicle to be moved by a licensed driver or towed at the owner's expense.  Provides that the cited operator is responsible for arranging the operator's transportation from the scene of the stop.  Part II:  Imposes a restriction on a person's ability to obtain or renew a driver's license or to register, renew the registration of, or transfer or receive title to a motor vehicle, as a consequence of unpaid monetary obligations, under certain circumstances.  Repeals provisions that would have allowed any person prevented from obtaining or renewing a driver's license or motor vehicle registration solely due to failure to pay any monetary assessment to petition the court for a driver's license or motor vehicle clearance.  Effective 7/1/3000.  (HD1)
