What's happening
This bill requires DMV to record license suspensions, revocations and expirations within 20 days.
Why it matters
Statewide deadline. DMV would have 20 days after receiving information to update car and motorcycle drivers' records. Inquiries after that period must show the suspended, revoked or expired status.
Police access. DMV would work with local law enforcement agencies on a uniform way to obtain immediate electronic access to driving records, including license status.
Required report. The DMV commissioner would report to the governor and legislative leaders by January 1, 2020, describing existing police access methods and recommending improvements.
