CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
| Senate Bill | No. 237 |
| Introduced by Senator Hertzberg |
February 06, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 13365 of the Vehicle Code, relating to infractions.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 237, as amended, Hertzberg.
Crimes: Infractions.
Prior to June 27, 2017, a court was authorized to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles when a person has failed to appear or failed to pay a fine or bail, with respect to various violations relating to vehicles. Existing law requires the department to suspend, and prohibits the department from issuing or renewing, a person’s driver’s license upon receipt of one of those notices, as specified.
This bill would invalidate any suspension placed on a driver’s license pursuant to that law and reinstate a person’s driving privileges if, and, on or before July 1, 2018, require the department to remove any suspension imposed before June 27, 2017, they were suspended
for failure to make specified payments.
