Expands DOT commissioner's authority to use eminent domain to widen and change roadways to include for "bicycle lanes or multi use trails."

Also allows state prosecutors to make someone go to driver retraining.

They already do that. Two (or maybe three) tickets in less than two years and it’s mandatory driver retraining.

That’s DMV. I haven’t read the bill but the comment says this allows prosecutors to, I assume, make it a condition of a plea deal or sentence.

True. Makes sense. It stops people from slipping through the cracks. I’m guessing in a situation where a DUI is the only moving violation on their record, the prosecutor would be able to require the retraining that wouldn’t be automatically triggered by the current DMV rules? Or if the driver catches a reckless driving charge that’s also only the first moving violation? If that’s the case, then yes, do it. It makes sense.
