HD 2069 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to end debt-based driving restrictions and remove economic roadblocks

HD 2069 prevents drivers from being prosecuted for operating a vehicle with a suspended license solely due to unpaid administrative fees or fines. It explicitly states that failure to pay these fees cannot be used as grounds for criminal charges. The bill also allows drivers to request a reduction or waiver of unpaid fees or fines based on financial hardship when renewing or reinstating their license. Additionally, it requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to send electronic notifications about unpaid assessments to help drivers avoid further penalties.
