Reason: Arizona Legislature Votes to End License Suspensions for Ticket Debts

Lauren Krisai, a senior policy analyst at the Justice Action Network, a criminal justice advocacy group that supported the Arizona legislation, says the new law will retroactively reinstate the licenses of roughly 30,000 Arizonans whose driving privileges were suspended for court debts. 

"It's great to see such a sweeping reform that will impact so many lives pass in such a tough state like Arizona, and it's frankly surprising that it was able to get done without any major opposition," Krisai says. "I wish I knew how to recreate this moment with every reform bill as impactful as this bill going forward. Sen. Paul Boyer was a great sponsor and we were grateful to work with him on this."
