  • Modifies section 13-703 to add a new provision stating that convictions for violations of section 28-1383 (reckless driving or habitual traffic violations) do not count as historical prior felony convictions unless the person was previously convicted of certain motor vehicle-related offenses or traffic violations within 72 months before the current offense.

  • Adds the same limitation for section 28-1383 violations in section 13-704 (dangerous offenders sentencing), preventing them from counting as prior convictions unless specific conditions are met.
