AR HB1241

Expands the definition of "eligible person" for driver's license issuance to include individuals within 180 days of release from custody or released within the previous 6 months, rather than only those within 180 days of release.

Requires the Department of Correction and Department of Community Correction to identify eligible persons to apply for replacement or renewal driver's licenses or identification cards.

Waives fees for replacement identification cards for eligible persons and waives reinstatement fees when issuing a driver's license if driving privileges were suspended or revoked solely due to an outstanding reinstatement fee.

Extends eligibility for restricted driving permits to persons within 90 days of release on probation or parole (in addition to those currently on probation or parole) for non-vehicle-related offenses with suspended licenses.

Permits restricted driving to employment, school, probation/parole officer meetings, or other locations directed by the probation or parole officer, but excludes persons with expired driver's licenses.
