AZ HB2260

Allows individuals holding a commercial driver license who are issued citations for civil traffic moving violations to attend defensive driving school, but only if driving a vehicle requiring a Class D or Class M license not used for commercial purposes.

Creates a new section (28-3394.01) establishing that commercial driver license holders who attend defensive driving school and successfully complete it cannot be assessed a civil penalty, and their citation must be treated as dismissed for private passenger vehicle insurance purposes.

Requires courts to forward an abstract of judgment to the department for commercial driver license holders attending defensive driving school; the violation remains on their driving record but cannot be used to determine license suspension or revocation.

Modifies surcharge provisions to require a $45 court diversion surcharge (in addition to the $5 surcharge from section 12-114) from all individuals attending defensive driving school, including commercial driver license holders.

Effective August 31, 2019.
