Enacted
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.
