What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) may, upon issuing

a motor vehicle operator's license, impose operating restrictions related to the

licensee's ability to operate a motor vehicle safely. A restriction imposed under this

authority is generally indicated on the front side of the licensee's operator's license.

When an operator's license is subject to lengthy special restrictions or special

restrictions that are not described in DOT's standard codes, DOT issues a separate

special restrictions card that describes the restrictions. This special restrictions card

is, in general, treated as a portion of the operator's license document and must be

carried with the operator's license when operating a motor vehicle.

Under this bill, DOT is not required to issue special restrictions cards.
