| 1 | + | CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20212022 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 907Introduced by Assembly Member Santiago(Coauthors: Assembly Members Ting and Wicks)(Coauthor: Senator Skinner)February 17, 2021 An act to amend Sections 12810 and 40000.11 of, and to add Section 40000.27 to, the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 907, as introduced, Santiago. Drivers licenses: offenses and penalties.Existing law prohibits a person from driving a motor vehicle upon a highway, unless the person then holds a valid drivers license, or is expressly exempted from that prohibition. Under existing law, a violation of this prohibition constitutes an infraction, except with respect to an unlicensed driver, in which case a violation is a misdemeanor. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for a person to drive a motor vehicle when the persons driving privilege is suspended or revoked, except under specified circumstances. Existing law authorizes a court to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles when a person has failed to appear with respect to various violations relating to vehicles. Existing law requires the department to suspend, and prohibits the department from issuing or renewing, a persons drivers license upon receipt of one of those notices, as specified.This bill would make it an infraction, rather than a misdemeanor, for a person to drive under a license that has been suspended for failure to appear, as specified. The bill also would repeal the misdemeanor penalty for unlicensed driving, thereby making a violation of that prohibition an infraction under all circumstances. The bill would set the fine for these infractions at $50 and would specify that the fine is not subject to additional fees or assessments.Existing law establishes that specified convictions and violations under the Vehicle Code and traffic-related incidents count as points against a drivers record for purposes of suspension or revocation of the privilege to drive and that certain other violations do not result in a violation point.This bill would specify that a violation for driving without a valid license, or driving under a suspended license for violating a written promise to appear or failing to pay a lawfully imposed fine pursuant to specified provisions, does not result in a violation point.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
