AI Summary
- Allows the Georgia Department of Driver Services to send notices of driver's license suspension for noncompliance with a child support order via certified mail or certificate of mailing, rather than requiring certified mail or statutory overnight delivery
- Defines "certificate of mailing" as a U.S. Postal Service delivery method that provides evidence an item has been sent and the date it was accepted, offering a lower-cost alternative to certified mail
- Extends the same certified mail or certificate of mailing notice option to license suspensions imposed for failure to respond to a traffic citation
- Removes the provision that proof of receipt of a suspension notice is admissible to support a conviction for driving on a suspended license; instead, the mailing itself is deemed conclusive notice
- Suspension for child support noncompliance remains indefinite until the obligor provides proof of compliance and pays a restoration fee of $35.00 (or $25.00 if processed by mail)
