What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a probationary driver's license is, with certain exceptions, issued to all applicants who qualify for an original driver's license and remains in effect for two years from the date of the licensee's next birthday. During the first nine months following issuance of a probationary license, a probationary licensee who is under 18 years of age is subject, with limited exceptions, to certain restrictions on the operation of “Class D” vehicles (automobiles and most other motor vehicles), including restrictions related to persons who may be passengers in a motor vehicle operated by the licensee and hours during which the licensee may operate a motor vehicle. Currently, a person holding a probationary license who violates these operating restrictions must forfeit $50 for a first offense and not less than $50 nor more than $100 for each subsequent offense.
Under this bill, a person holding a probationary license who violates the operating restrictions referenced above is subject to the following penalties:

1. For a first offense, a $150 forfeiture and ten hours of community service.
2. For a second offense, a $250 forfeiture, ten hours of community service, and a three-month suspension of the person's operating privilege.
3. For a third or subsequent offense, a $500 forfeiture, 20 hours of community service, and a six-month suspension of the person's operating privilege.
Also under current law, if a person holding a probationary license violates the operating restrictions referenced above, the Department of Transportation must extend the restrictions for an additional six-month period or until the licensee's 18th birthday, whichever occurs earlier. Under this bill, if DOT extends a restriction period, the restrictions apply to a licensee 18 years of age or older until the period of restriction expires.
