CO SB116

Repeals the penalty that prohibits a person from being issued a driver's license for three years after a second or subsequent conviction for driving under restraint, when the initial restraint was not for an alcohol-related offense.

Removes the requirement for the Department of Revenue to impose an additional one-year license restriction when driving under restraint for reasons other than alcohol-related offenses (DUI, DUI per se, DWAI, or UDD).

Adds an exception to the habitual offender definition so that persons with three or more driving-under-restraint convictions within seven years are not classified as habitual offenders if none of the convictions involved alcohol-related driving offenses.

Exempts habitual offenders whose classification is based solely on non-alcohol-related driving-under-restraint convictions from mandatory license revocation by the Department of Revenue.

Takes effect September 1, 2020, subject to voter approval if a referendum petition is filed within 90 days after the legislative session ends.
