| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2556, sub-§2, as enacted by PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. A, | | §2 and affected by Pt. B, §5, is amended to read: |
|
| | | 2. Petition. An habitual offender whose license has been | | revoked pursuant to section 2552 may petition the Secretary of | | State for a work-restricted license only after the expiration of | | 8 months from the date the license was revoked pursuant to | | section 2552. |
|
| | | This bill changes the habitual offender law by allowing an | | habitual offender to seek a work-restricted license only after a | | period of revocation has been served. Under the Maine Revised | | Statutes, Title 29-A, section 2554, an habitual offender may | | petition for relief from habitual offender status one year after | | revocation. This bill allows a petition for a work-restricted | | license 8 months after revocation. |
