TRANSPORTATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding certain judgments and to provide for default judgments in certain situations.

Idaho's H 552 amends traffic law to streamline consequences for drivers who refuse alcohol/drug tests or fail to appear for hearings. It specifies that missing a 7-business-day deadline to request a hearing after refusing a test automatically results in a $250 fine, a 1- to 2-year driver's license suspension (depending on prior offenses), and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device on all vehicles. The bill directly affects drivers who refuse testing or skip required hearings, making non-attendance or non-requested hearings equivalent to a default judgment. Key changes include clarifying "business days" for hearing requests and ensuring automatic penalties if drivers don't formally contest the refusal. These amendments apply to all drivers in Idaho facing such violations under current traffic laws.
