1/4/06-Delegate Luiz R.S. Simmons, D-Montgomery, is working on a bill that would create stiffer penalties for driving without a license.
Under existing state law, unlicensed drivers face a $315 fine but no jail time, even for multiple offenses.
Once lawmakers return to the capitol for the regular session that begins Jan. 11, Simmons said he would introduce a measure that would require people charged with driving without a license to appear in court and face penalties that would include 90 days in jail for a first offense. A second offense could result in up to a year behind bars.
