Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill modifies the penalty for a person who operates a motor vehicle while the person's operating privilege has been suspended (OWS).
Under current law, no person may operate a motor vehicle upon a highway unless the person possesses a valid operator's license that is not revoked, suspended, canceled, or expired. The penalty for operating a motor vehicle without a license (OWL) is a forfeiture of not more than $200 for the first offense, a fine of not more than $300 and imprisonment for not more than 30 days for the second offense occurring within 3 years, and a fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment for not more than 6 months for the third or subsequent offense occurring within 3 years.

Under current law, the penalty for an OWS violation that does not cause great bodily harm or death is a forfeiture of $50 to $200. The bill modifies the penalty for OWS so that it is the same as OWL violations.
