| Under current motor vehicle law, there are 2 processes, one |
judicial and one administrative, for the adjudication of motor |
vehicle and traffic offenses. These processes operate parallel |
with each other and often both are set in motion upon the |
issuance of a Violation Complaint and Summons by a law |
enforcement officer. If the person charged plea bargains in |
court, the person may be convicted of a lesser or different |
violation with a lesser sanction than that charged in the |
complaint while the person still must face the original |
administrative sanction. This bill requires a court at |
sentencing to inform a person convicted under the motor vehicle |
laws if there is a potential pending companion administrative |
sanction and, if so, what that administrative sanction may be. |
