IN RE:
HB1013 by White (Relating to repealing automatic driver's license suspensions for certain drug offenses.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes as they relate to the automatic suspension of drivers license for certain drug offenses.  Under the provisions of the bill, statute governing the automatic suspension of a driver's license for certain drug offenses would be repealed, and changes conforming to the repeal would be made in various codes.

This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
