Requires the court to provide a range of dates for a person pleading not guilty to a traffic infraction to appear
This bill requires courts to provide at least three different date and time options for drivers who plead not guilty to traffic infractions. It applies directly to individuals charged with traffic violations who choose to contest the ticket rather than pay it. The key provision mandates that courts notify these drivers via mail with a range of available court dates, replacing a single fixed date. Additionally, the bill prevents courts from issuing arrest warrants for missing a court date until the driver has been notified of a new date via certified mail and fails to appear.
