AB 1662 requires prosecutors to notify DMV of misdemeanor arrests when judges grant diversion

• •Requires prosecuting attorneys to ensure the DMV is notified of an arrest or incident when a judge grants diversion to a defendant.
• •Applies to cases where a conviction would have otherwise required the court clerk to forward an abstract of the record to the DMV.
• •Imposes a state-mandated local program by increasing administrative duties on local officials.
• •Provides that the Commission on State Mandates will determine if reimbursement to local agencies is required for the costs of these new duties.

This measure changes the administrative reporting process for misdemeanor cases involving potential traffic-related records, ensuring the DMV remains informed of incidents even when a defendant is diverted from the standard conviction process.
