DESCRIPTION
This proposal would prohibit the Department of Revenue from issuing or renewing a registration license if the registered owner owes delinquent traffic violation fines, parking violation fines and any other vehicle-related fees or fines. This prohibition would apply to all motor vehicles owned by the liable party. Under this act, a city or county may notify a motorist, after his or her fourth outstanding violation that if the motorist does not pay his or her traffic fines within 30 days, the Department of Revenue will be authorized to suspend the motorist's vehicle registration.
This proposal would also suspend a person's driving privileges if the person has failed to pay vehicle-related revenues, parking violation fines, towing and vehicle immobilization fees and any late payment penalties and court costs associated with the adjudication or collection of those fines.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
