DIGEST
Crowe (SB 474)
Present law provides that the department shall suspend the license of any person upon
notification of the first or second conviction for failure to utilize an appropriate child
restraint system until such time as the driver provides the department with a notarized
affidavit stating the driver has acquired an approved age- or size-appropriate child restraint
system.
Proposed law provides that, upon notification of the first or second conviction for failure to
utilize an appropriate child restraint system, the department will notify, in writing, that the
driver has 30 days from the date of mailing the notice to provide the department with a
notarized affidavit stating that the driver has acquired an approved age- or size-appropriate
child restraint system.
Proposed law provides that, should the driver fail to provide the department with an affidavit
within 30 days, the department shall suspend the license until such time that the affidavit is
produced and the driver has complied with all other requirements of reinstatement as
provided by law and department regulation.
Effective August 15, 2010.
