Provides for restricted use driver's license as alternatives for license suspension in municipal court.
This bill allows individuals with suspended or revoked driver's licenses to apply to municipal courts for a restricted use license, primarily for employment or education travel. Courts must consider financial hardship and the risk of repeat offenses before approving, but those suspended for certain offenses (like DUI) are excluded. Approved licensees would receive a color-coded license and placard displayed on vehicles, permitting driving only between home, work, or school during specific hours, with a $100 fee max. The license expires when the regular license is restored after suspension ends.
