Substitute bill would let repeat-moving-violation drivers avoid suspension once by taking safety training

Mar 17, 2025

Substitute House Bill 1244 would let drivers eligible for a 60-day suspension avoid that suspension once every five years by completing an approved safe driving course, showing insurance and paying the reissuance fee.

The full story

Substitute House Bill 1244 was heard March 17 by the Law & Justice Committee. The bill would allow the Department of Licensing (DOL) to reinstate the license of a driver who otherwise would have a 60-day suspension for repeated moving violations after the driver presents proof of completing a DOL-approved safe driving course, proof of insurance and payment of the $20 reissuance fee. The option would be available one time per five years and would not apply to serious offenses such as DUI, reckless driving, or street racing.
