AB 1723 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Driver's licenses: revocation.

Summary

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to immediately revoke the driving privilege of a person upon receipt of a duly certified abstract of the record of a court showing that the person has been convicted of, among other things, certain types of manslaughter. If the person can provide proof of financial responsibility, as defined, existing law authorizes the department to reinstate those driving privileges 3 years after the date of revocation. This bill would clarify that, for purposes of reinstating driving privileges as described above, the "date of revocation" means the date the department revokes a person's privilege to drive a motor vehicle and not the date of conviction.

02/05/26 - Introduced → AB1723 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to AB 1723 between these two versions. The differences are entirely in document formatting: the first version uses traditional legislative document layout with line numbers and page headers, while the second is a web-scraped version from the California legislature website that includes navigation elements and different typographic structure. The actual bill text amending Vehicle Code Section 13351 is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a traditional legislative print layout (with line numbers, page headers, and column formatting) to a web page version that includes site navigation elements such as search boxes, links to bill information, votes, history, and analysis pages. No changes to the underlying legal text.
