Abstract

Provides that license reinstatement fees are: (1) $150 for the first suspension; (2) $225 for the second suspension; and (3) $300 for the third and any subsequent suspensions. (Current law provides that license reinstatement fees are: (1) $250 for the first suspension; (2) $500 for the second suspension; and (3) $1,000 for the third and any subsequent suspension.) Reestablishes for one year the traffic amnesty program to permit certain persons owing unpaid traffic fines, or who may be required to pay a fee for reinstatement of driving privileges, to obtain a reduction in the amount owed or amount payable. Extends the traffic amnesty program to certain judgments and fees that accrued before January 1, 2022. (The current program is limited to judgments and fees that accrued before January 1, 2020.) Establishes a payment plan to allow a person to pay the remaining 50% of unpaid fees in installments. Specifies that, if amnesty is granted and the court establishes a payment plan, the person is required to pay a $50 traffic amnesty installment fee.
