Prohibits state agencies from collecting fees or penalties until all administrative remedies have been exhausted
This bill prohibits state agencies from collecting administrative fees, penalties, or disputed payments until a person has finished appealing the decision through all available administrative channels. It directly affects individuals who owe money to the state, ensuring they cannot be forced to pay or have their wages garnished while they are still fighting the charge internally. The law requires agencies to wait until every step of the internal review process is complete before taking any action to collect the debt. This measure aims to protect individuals from premature financial enforcement while they exercise their right to challenge government charges.
