Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill HB 5019 involve updating the process regarding the return of driver's licenses when they are disqualified or downgraded. Language that previously implied a requirement for returning the license has been clarified to confirm that the return is not mandatory in these cases. This change matters because it streamlines the process for drivers, potentially reducing confusion and administrative burden for both the Department of Motor Vehicles and the public.
