<ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:Subject>Driver’s licenses: revocation.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to immediately revoke the driving privilege of a person upon receipt of a duly certified abstract of the record of a court showing that the person has been convicted of, among other things, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. If the person can provide proof of financial responsibility, as defined, existing law authorizes the department to reinstate those driving privileges 3 years after the date of revocation.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would authorize the department to revoke the driving privilege of a
person upon a showing that the person has 3 or more convictions within a 10-year period for, among other things, driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. If the department revokes a person’s driving privileges pursuant to this authority, the bill would prohibit the department from reinstating that person’s driving privileges until the expiration of 8 years after the date of
revocation, subject to certain requirements. However, the bill would make an exception to this prohibition and require the department to reinstate the driving privileges of an above-described person if the person has satisfied certain conditions, including agreeing to install and maintain an ignition interlock device, among other requirements.</html:p>
