Suspension of child's driving privileges; reinstatement;
probationary privileges; removal from record
Sec. 7. (a) If a child is alleged to have committed an act that
would be an offense under IC 9-30-5 if committed by an adult, a
juvenile court shall recommend the immediate suspension of the
child's driving privileges as provided in IC 9-30-5. If a court
recommends suspension of a child's driving privileges under this
section, the bureau of motor vehicles shall comply with the
recommendation of suspension as provided in IC 9-30-6-12.
(b) If a court recommends suspension of a child's driving
privileges under this section, the court may order the bureau of motor
vehicles to reinstate the child's driving privileges as provided in
IC 9-30-6-11.
(c) If a juvenile court orders the bureau of motor vehicles to
reinstate a child's driving privileges under subsection (b), the bureau
shall comply with the order. Unless the order for reinstatement is
issued as provided under IC 9-30-6-11(a)(2) because of a violation
of the speedy trial provisions applicable to the juvenile court, the
bureau shall also do the following:
(1) Remove any record of the suspension from the bureau's
record keeping system.
(2) Reinstate the privileges without cost to the person.
(d) If a juvenile court orders a suspension under this section and
the child did not refuse to submit to a chemical test offered under
IC 9-30-6-2 during the investigation of the delinquent act that would
have been an offense under IC 9-30-5 if committed by an adult, the
juvenile court may grant the child probationary driving privileges for
one hundred eighty (180) days in conformity with the procedures in
IC 9-30-5-12. The standards and procedures in IC 9-30-5-11 and
IC 9-30-5-13 apply to an action under this subsection.
(e) If a proceeding described in this section is terminated in favor
of the child and the child did not refuse to submit to a chemical test
offered as provided under IC 9-30-6-2 during the investigation of the
delinquent act that would be an offense under IC 9-30-5 if committed
by an adult, the bureau shall remove any record of the suspension,
including the reasons for the suspension, from the child's official
driving record.
(f) The bureau of motor vehicles may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2
to carry out this section.
