House Bill
HB 1114
Driving without a license.
In plain English
Creates new crimes for knowingly driving on a highway without ever having had a valid driver's license when the driving causes injury, ranging from a Class A misdemeanor to a Level 5 felony if someone dies or is catastrophically hurt. Makes it a Class A misdemeanor to get a license, permit, or vehicle title so an unqualified person can drive, and raises the penalty to a Level 6 felony in certain cases.

Official digest
Adds the following criminal offenses for an individual who knowingly or intentionally operates a motor vehicle on a highway and has never received a valid driver's license: (1) A Class A misdemeanor if the operation of the motor vehicle results in bodily injury. (2) A Level 6 felony if the operation of the motor vehicle results in serious bodily injury. (3) A Level 5 felony if the operation of the motor vehicle results in the death or catastrophic injury of another person. Makes it a Class A misdemeanor to: (1) apply for a driver's license or permit with the intent to transfer the license or permit to an individual not entitled to the license or permit; or (2) register or apply for a certificate of title to a motor vehicle with the intent to permit an individual not entitled to a driver's license or permit to operate the vehicle. Increases the penalty to a Level 6 felony if the offense involves at least two individuals or motor vehicles, or if the person uses a business organization or nonprofit organization to commit the offense.
