Relates to the requirement that hearings for traffic infractions shall be conducted in person
This bill requires that hearings for traffic infractions (like speeding tickets) be held in person by default. It allows virtual attendance only if the driver or their lawyer specifically requests it. Drivers can also ask for a delay (adjournment) before the hearing or after it occurs if they provide a valid reason. The rule applies directly to people facing traffic violations who must attend hearings in person unless they opt for virtual participation. The bill takes effect 30 days after becoming law.
