Eliminates driver's license suspension for unpaid fines and fees, limiting suspension to failures to respond to traffic citations.

Authorizes misdemeanor release on personal recognizance unless the defendant is on probation/parole, has pending charges, history of nonappearance, or poses danger to others.

Establishes risk and needs assessment-based probation and post-release supervision conditions, requires graduated sanctions before revocation proceedings, and limits technical violation center sentences to 90-180 days based on offense number.

Consolidates expunction statutes to allow expunction of misdemeanor convictions for first offenders, felony convictions seven years after sentence completion (with exceptions for violent crimes and drug trafficking), and automatic expunction upon dismissal of charges; opts out of federal SNAP eligibility restrictions for drug offenders.
