Senate Bill 607 Summary

• Establishes procedures for license suspension when individuals fail to answer traffic citations or comply with court judgments, with different timelines for general violations (28+ days notice, 14-day compliance period) versus DUI-related violations (immediate notice, 7-day compliance period).

• Creates a $45.00 driver license clearance fee required for license reinstatement after suspension, with court discretion to waive the fee in certain limited circumstances.

• Allows courts to notify the Secretary of State for license non-issuance/non-renewal after individuals fail to answer 2+ parking violations for persons with disabilities or 3+ general parking violations, with a 31-day appearance window offering 50% fine reduction if paid during that period.

• Exempts parking violations, pedestrian/passenger/bicycle violations, and certain liquor control violations from automatic license suspension procedures.

• Changes statutory language from "pursuant to" to "under" in several sections and adjusts thresholds for parking violation triggers from 6 violations to 3 violations.
