EXPLANATION
8
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
9
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
10
Under
current
law,
the
department
of
transportation
may
11
suspend
a
person’s
driver’s
license
upon
a
showing
that
the
12
person
is
a
habitual
violator
of
the
traffic
laws.
Pursuant
13
to
administrative
rules,
a
“habitual
violator”
is
a
person
who
14
has
been
convicted
of
three
or
more
moving
violations
committed
15
within
a
12-month
period.
The
accumulation
of
convictions
16
for
moving
violations
may
also
lead
to
license
revocation
if
17
the
person
is
determined
to
be
a
habitual
offender.
“Moving
18
violation”
is
defined
in
administrative
rules
as
any
violation
19
of
motor
vehicle
laws,
with
certain
exceptions
including
a
20
violation
of
Code
section
321.20B
for
failure
to
provide
21
proof
of
financial
liability
coverage.
This
bill
directs
the
22
department
of
transportation
to
amend
its
rules
by
removing
23
that
exception.
24
The
bill
takes
effect
upon
enactment.
