BACKGROUND:

The Department of Licensing revokes the driving privilege of a juvenile when the superior or district court notifies the department of the juvenile's conviction for a drug or alcohol offense.

The statute authorizing the license revocation does not apply to convictions arising out of the violation of local ordinances.  The City of Seattle has suggested amending the juvenile license revocation statute to allow the department to revoke licenses for offenders violating local ordinances.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Licensing shall revoke the driving privileges of juveniles who are convicted of violating local drug and alcohol ordinances.
