Senate Bill SF No 287 introduced by Senators Coleman, Abeler, Limmer, and Jasinski, focuses on transportation law, specifically regarding the suspension of driver’s licenses. The bill aims to amend the existing statutes to require the suspension of a driver's license if a person is either suspected or formally charged with crimes related to vehicular operation that resulted in severe harm or death. This includes offenses under several clauses within statutes regarding criminal vehicular operation and criminal vehicular homicide. If probable cause is found or if formal charges are laid for these specified offenses, the commissioner is required to suspend the driver's license of the individual involved.
