Getting caught driving with a suspended license can be detrimental for Hoosiers, and could lead to losing a job and unpaid bills. To help struggling Hoosiers get back on track, I authored House Bill 1199 to allow the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles to lift a suspension for a period of 180 days if the individual can prove future financial responsibility. |

This proposal would also allow the Indiana Department of Correction and BMV to help nonviolent offenders who are re-entering the workforce by easing the financial requirements to reinstate their driver’s license upfront. This would give parolees the opportunity to get a job and take care of immediate expenses before paying back those fees. The bill would also extend the Traffic Amnesty Program for one year. This program allows Indiana residents with suspended licenses or unpaid traffic fines imposed before Jan. 1, 2019, the option to petition the court for a reduced fine of up to 50 percent.
