What is the term for a civil loss resulting from a felony record, often affecting driving privileges?

The term "collateral consequence" refers to the secondary, often unintended effects that result from a felony conviction, separate from the immediate penalties imposed by the criminal justice system, such as incarceration or fines. Collateral consequences can include a range of civil rights and privileges that may be lost, including the ability to obtain professional licenses, access public housing, or, significantly, driving privileges. These effects can persist long after the initial sentence has been served and can have profound implications for reintegration into society.

The other terms provided may relate to legal outcomes, but they do not accurately capture the specific implications of losing rights or privileges as a result of a felony record. For instance, a civil penalty refers to a monetary fine imposed as a punishment for non-criminal violations, while legal consequence may refer more broadly to any effect that results from legal actions, lacking the specific nuance of collateral effects. Thus, "collateral consequence" is the most appropriate term to describe the situation involving civil losses stemming from a felony record.
