S.B. 1344 Summary

• Prohibits imposing restrictions on driver's license issuance or renewal and motor vehicle registration as penalties for unpaid traffic fines and other civil monetary obligations.

• Repeals section 291D-10 which previously allowed courts to prevent driver's license acquisition or vehicle registration for unpaid traffic infractions.

• Voids all existing driver's license and vehicle registration restrictions imposed under the repealed section 291D-10 as of the effective date.

• Preserves driver's license suspensions for excessive speeding, lack of motor vehicle insurance, and non-compliance with child support orders.

• Allows district courts to conditionally approve driver's license issuance or renewal upon court-imposed conditions when applicants are gainfully employed in driving positions or lack alternative transportation.
