ID S1116

Changes driving privilege suspension authority from "shall" to "may" for first-time offenders, allowing judges discretion rather than mandating suspension for up to 180 days following the underlying suspension period.

Modifies second-time violation penalties to allow judges discretion on driving privilege suspension for up to one year (down from mandatory language), while maintaining the requirement for 30 days of absolute no driving privileges.

Reduces third or subsequent violation suspension periods from mandatory six months to discretionary suspension not exceeding 180 days, and removes language requiring 90 days of absolute no driving privileges.

Maintains all existing jail sentences, fines, and work release/community service options for first, second, and subsequent violations of driving without privileges.

Preserves restricted driving privileges eligibility for employment, education, or family health needs, along with requirements for liability insurance and exclusion of commercial motor vehicle operation.
