Act Relevant to Motor Vehicle License Suspension
For years, people in Massachusetts automatically lost their driver’s licenses when convicted of a drug offense, and were required to pay a reinstatement fee of $500 to get it back. After time served, many people struggled to find a job, pick up children from school or even find housing because they had no driver’s license. GBIO organized to repeal this 27-year-old law and in 2015 celebrated success with the passage of Senate Bill 2021.
