SF758

The legislative bill SF No. 758 aims to modify existing laws related to the crime of fleeing a peace officer using a motor vehicle. It proposes tougher penalties for those who flee in a manner deemed as "culpably negligent." Specifically, it suggests changes to the revocation periods of driver's licenses for various offenses related to fleeing from law enforcement. Under this bill:

1. If someone flees from a police officer for the first time, their license will be revoked for at least one year.
2. If they flee a second time or more, their license will be revoked for at least three years.
3. If the fleeing is done in a particularly negligent way (subdivision 3a), the revocation will last for at least four years.
4. More severe circumstances of fleeing (subdivision 4, clause a) will result in a license revocation of at least ten years.
5. Other specified circumstances (subdivision 4, clauses b and c) will see license revocations of at least seven years and five years respectively.

Additionally, the bill establishes that a limited license may not be issued for half the duration of the revocation period, and thereafter can only be issued based on the recommendation of the adjudicating court.
