Drunk and Drug-Impaired Driving and Failure to Remain at the Scene - Revocation of Driver's License

HB 70 requires Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration to revoke a driver's license for convictions or probation for: (1) impaired driving causing death or life-threatening injury, or (2) failing to remain at an accident scene resulting in death or bodily injury. It mandates a minimum 5-year waiting period before license reinstatement for these offenses, and requires participation in an Ignition Interlock Program for those who flee accident scenes causing injury. The bill amends Maryland's transportation code to specify these revocation criteria and reinstatement timelines, replacing prior provisions with these stricter requirements for the most severe driving incidents. This directly affects drivers convicted of the most serious impaired driving or hit-and-run cases involving fatalities or critical harm.
