This fiscal note contains 4 pages. There would be penalties assessed including fines, community service, and the suspension of the driver's license. The court would be ordered to direct the Department of Revenue to withhold issuance of or suspend the driver's license.
Penalties increase with multiple violations.
There would be specific charge stipulated for these violations. Depending on the degree of enforcement, there could be a significant increase in the workload of the courts. However, CTS does not have a way of weighing that against the compliance that may occur over time, and therefore cannot provide a specific estimate of the cost of that increase at this time. DOR states that for a first offense, the court can either impose a twenty-five dollar fine and require sixteen hours of community service or order the suspension of the individual's driving privilege for a period of ten days. On a second offense, the court can either impose a fifty dollar fine and require twenty-five hours of community service or order the suspension of the individual's driving privilege for a period of thirty days.
