A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO SUSPEND JUVENILES' DRIVERS LICENSES FOR DRUG OR LIQUOR USE UNTIL THEY REACH EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-11 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( d)	(1)	Whenever a person who is 16 years of age or younger, is convicted of any crime, violation, infraction, or other offense involving the possession, use, or abuse of alcohol or controlled substances or is determined by a juvenile court to be a delinquent juvenile or to have committed one of the described offenses, the clerk of the court in which the person is convicted shall prepare and send to the Division, within 72 hours of the conviction or determination, an order of denial of driving privileges for the period until the person reaches the age of 18 for the person so convicted or determined.
(2)	The court issuing an order of denial of driving privileges under this subsection, shall order the juvenile to undergo alcohol or drug assessment, treatment, education, or any other appropriate lawful condition.  The court may not, upon petition of any person, or on its own motion, review the order and may not withdraw the order at any time until the juvenile reaches 18 years of age.
(3)	Upon receipt of an order issued under this subsection, the Division shall code the minors name so that no drivers license may be issued to that person until that person reaches 18 years of age."
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective October 1, 1989.
