Senate Bill 582 amends the Transportation Code to combine certain offenses relating to the driving of a motor vehicle while a driver's license to operate a motor vehicle is invalid. The bill eliminates any suspensions formerly exempt from prosecution under these charges, clarifying that it is an offense for a person to operate a motor vehicle when that person's driver's license or privilege is canceled, suspended, revoked, expired, denied renewal, or prohibited pursuant to state law.
