An Act To Establish a Driver's License Suspension Amnesty Day

CONCEPT DRAFT SUMMARY

This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.

This bill proposes to establish a program in which a person who has outstanding traffic tickets with unpaid fines that have resulted in the suspension of that person's driver's license is eligible, for a limited time, to pay a reduced fine per ticket in order to reinstate that person's driver's license. It is based on a similar program in Vermont.

This bill will establish criteria for eligibility for participation in the program, including which offenses qualify, the amount that an eligible person must pay and when the program will be held.
