summary
This amendment changes the title and removes the provisions of the bill that prohibit the Secretary of State from releasing information to the public about a juvenile's violation of a law prohibiting the transport of illegal drugs or liquor when suspending that juvenile's motor vehicle license or permit. Instead, the amendment provides that such information may be released only to a law enforcement officer and the courts after the suspension has been terminated and only for the purpose of prosecuting a violation of the prohibition against operating a motor vehicle while the license or permit is suspended or revoked.
This amendment also removes provisions of the bill regarding limiting the use of a juvenile's records to hearings conducted by the Secretary of State.
