An Act to improve RMV fee payment, equity, and road safety

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to improve how the Registry of Motor Vehicles handles fee payments and to increase equity for drivers facing parking violations. It removes the ability to suspend a vehicle owner's license solely for unpaid fees and repeals provisions that allowed for license non-renewal due to failure to pay parking citations. The legislation mandates that drivers receive electronic notifications about unpaid assessments and establishes a process for requesting fee reductions or waivers based on financial hardship or indigency. Additionally, it clarifies the procedures for appealing parking fines and ensures that individuals receiving public assistance or earning below a specific income threshold are exempt from certain administrative and late fees.
