What changed between versions

S7928 S7928A · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to expand its protection by explicitly including 'revocation' alongside 'suspension' of driver's licenses. This ensures that individuals in treatment court programs are shielded from having their licenses revoked when they take a plea, not just when they are suspended.
Scope change
The bill's scope was broadened to cover license revocations in addition to suspensions.
ELIGIBILITY

The text was changed from limiting protection to 'suspension' to covering both 'suspension or revocation' of a driver's license.
