|
| | | Whereas, an anomaly exists under current law where a court may | | restrict or suspend a person's ability to operate a motor vehicle | | but there is no mechanism for that restriction or suspension to | | be transmitted to law enforcement agencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, this Act allows the Secretary of State to suspend or | | restrict without a hearing the license of a person whose motor | | vehicle operation privilege has been restricted as a condition of | | bail; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | | therefore, |
|
| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2458, sub-§2, ļO, as amended by PL 1997, c. 776, | | §48, is further amended to read: |
