Description

Restricted license issued when license suspended for failure to pay fines and costs. Provides that any person otherwise eligible for a restricted license may petition the district court of the jurisdiction in which he resides for authorization for a restricted license when his license is suspended for failure to pay fines, costs, and restitution. Such restricted license shall not be issued for more than a six-month period. Currently, such a restricted license may be issued only when each court that so suspended his license authorizes a restricted license and such a license may only be issued when the petitioner is already employed.
