Modifies provisions relating to driver's licenses

HB 1996 replaces Missouri's current rules for driver's license suspensions and revocations with new provisions. It allows courts or the director of revenue to grant limited driving privileges for essential activities like work, school, medical care, or shopping at grocery stores and pharmacies if an undue hardship would occur without driving. To qualify, applicants must submit a written request, provide proof of insurance, and sometimes install an ignition interlock device in their vehicle. After a license suspension ends, the license is returned immediately upon meeting requirements; after revocation, a new license must be applied for.
