This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law establishes that specified convictions and violations under the Vehicle Code and traffic-related incidents count as points against a driver's record for purposes of the suspension or revocation of the privilege to drive and that certain other violations do not result in a violation point count. Existing law assesses a point against the driver's record if the driver is deemed by the department to be responsible for a traffic accident. This bill would authorize a person whose driving record has been assessed a point based on responsibility for a traffic accident to request an administrative hearing with the department within one year of the assessment to contest the assessment.
