Summary

Existing law generally requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide written notice by mail to a person when the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle has been suspended or revoked. Existing law provides that there is a rebuttable presumption, affecting the burden of proof, that a person has knowledge of the suspension or revocation if notice has been sent by first-class mail by the department to the most recent address reported to the department, as specified, and the notice has not been returned to the department as undeliverable or unclaimed. This bill would authorize the department to utilize alternative methods, including, but not limited to, fax machine, email, or cellular telephone, to provide a person with additional notice of suspension or revocation. The bill would prohibit these alternative notices from affecting the rebuttable presumption described above. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
