What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person whose operating privilege has been revoked may

“knowingly operate a motor vehicle upon any highway in this state during the period

of revocation.” This bill eliminates the word “knowingly” from current law and

provides that a person's knowledge that his or her operating privilege is revoked is

not an element of the offense of operating after revocation (OAR).

Under current law, in imposing a sentence for an OAR violation, the court is

required to consider all of the following: 1) aggravating and mitigating

circumstances, 2) the class of vehicle operated, 3) the number of prior convictions

within the preceding 5 years, 4) the reason for the revocation, and 5) any convictions

for moving violations arising out of the incident. This bill provides that the court may

consider this information.
