An Act to increase opportunity by ending debt-based driving restrictions
This bill eliminates license suspensions for drivers who cannot pay administrative fees, directly affecting individuals with suspended licenses due to unpaid fines or fees. It revises law to prohibit prosecution for driving without a license solely because of unpaid administrative costs and adds a hardship waiver process for fee reductions. Drivers can now request fee waivers based on financial hardship through a new noncriminal hearing process. The bill also updates notification procedures for unpaid citations to include electronic alerts about payment deadlines and hardship options. These changes aim to prevent license suspensions from being used as a debt collection tool.
