Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

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, certain types of manslaughter. 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.

This bill would clarify that, for purposes of reinstating driving privileges as described above, the “date of revocation” means the date the department revokes a person’s privilege to drive a motor vehicle and not the date of conviction.
