AI Generated Summary

Senate Bill S.F. No. 1373 primarily seeks to expand the suspension of driver's licenses to include individuals suspected of engaging in criminal vehicular homicide or criminal vehicular operation. This bill mandates that whenever a peace officer has probable cause to believe someone has committed any of these offenses, they must report it, leading to an automatic suspension of the offender's driver’s license. This applies both to cases where an officer suspects such a violation and also to those where formal charges have been filed against the individual for related crimes. The aim is to improve public safety by preventing potentially dangerous drivers from being on the road.
