Kansas would stop counting old traffic sanctions in driving decisions

Courts and the division would not count a traffic-citation failure sanction more than five years old when deciding whether to suspend or restrict driving privileges. This applies to conviction sanctions for failing to comply with a traffic citation. The text says this rule applies retroactively. A sanction is left out once it is more than five years old.

The division would mail notice to people whose driving privileges remain suspended or restricted after five years. This applies to people whose driving privileges were suspended or restricted and have not since been restored. The notice would say the person may be eligible for driving privileges; it would not restore privileges automatically. The division would send notice after five years have passed from the conviction.
