AB 175, as introduced, V. Manuel Pérez. Vehicles: towing and impoundment: unlicensed drivers.
Existing law authorizes a peace officer to impound for 30 days a vehicle driven by a person who had never been issued a driver’s license. Existing law subjects to forfeiture, and requires the impoundment of, a vehicle driven by an unlicensed driver who is a registered owner of the vehicle and who has a previous misdemeanor conviction of operating a vehicle without a driver’s license.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to prohibit a peace officer from impounding a vehicle solely on the basis that the driver is unlicensed.
