AI Summary
- Adds battery against healthcare workers and emergency health workers to the list of "serious delinquent acts" that can warrant juvenile detention
- Revises driver's license suspension procedures for failure to respond to a uniform traffic citation, allowing reinstatement when the accused schedules a new court date, appears for a hearing or arraignment, or the charge is finally adjudicated — rather than requiring full payment of fines first
- Prohibits courts from conditioning the scheduling of a new court appearance date for a traffic citation on payment of any prior failure-to-appear fee
- Changes the pauper's affidavit provision for driver's license reinstatement fees from a 50% reduction to a full waiver of the fee
- Expands required contents of Family Violence Reports to include existence of protective orders, prior complaints of family violence, and the officer's reasons for determining the predominant aggressor or for not making an arrest
