TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for suspension of driver’s licenses when a person is 60 days or more delinquent in paying the penalty for a moving traffic infraction.
This bill requires Idaho to suspend driver's licenses for individuals who are 60 days or more behind on unpaid fines for moving traffic violations. It creates a new legal provision that allows courts to notify the Department of Transportation when a driver fails to pay an infraction penalty, triggering an automatic suspension without a prior hearing. To restore driving privileges, drivers must pay all outstanding fines and fees, and the law includes an appeal process through district court as well as limited exceptions for medical emergencies and employment-related travel.
