AI Summary

  • Amends Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 169.92, subdivision 4, regarding driver's license suspension procedures for failure to appear in court on traffic citations.

  • Commissioner of public safety must notify drivers of license suspension threat and allow 30 days for the driver to appear in court or, for petty misdemeanors with guilty pleas, pay any imposed fine before suspension takes effect.

  • Suspension orders must indicate the reason for suspension and remain in effect until the driver provides evidence of compliance with court orders.
