SB 61 changes the age threshold for driver's license suspensions on restricted permits from eighteen to sixteen years old, meaning teens with restricted permits can now face license suspensions starting at age sixteen instead of having to wait until they turn eighteen. The bill also extends suspension lengths for serious violations—felonies and Class 1 misdemeanors now result in suspensions lasting until the driver's sixteenth birthday (whichever is longer) rather than their eighteenth birthday, creating longer penalties for younger permit holders.
