MS SB2055

Allows trial judges discretion to suspend a minor's driver's license for up to 90 days instead of imposing conviction for most traffic violations, except serious offenses and Implied Consent Law or Uniform Controlled Substances Law violations.

Permits judges to require minors to complete a court-approved traffic safety violator course as a condition of license suspension, which does not constitute a conviction.

Requires courts to approve only traffic safety violator courses for drivers under 18 that include at least 4 hours of in-person classroom instruction, an instructor's manual with appropriate curriculum, and student workbooks.

Establishes minimum instructor qualifications that must be met for court-approved traffic safety violator courses.

Takes effect July 1, 2014.
