HB 530 Failure to pay fines and costs; license suspension.

Introduced by: Jerrauld C. Jones | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Failure to pay fines and costs; license suspension. Expands application of the current law to clarify that when a check bounces or a credit card company refuses payment, the person has failed to pay and the license suspension provisions are invoked. Because the failure to pay under these circumstances occurs sometime after the conviction (e.g., when the check bounces), the person is to be given notice of the failure and of his opportunity to avoid the suspension by making payment in full by cash, cashier's check or certified check within 10 days of the date of the notice.

The bill also specifically requires that persons who are authorized to make installment or deferred payments of fines, costs, etc., keep the court apprised of any change of address occurring during the period when payments will be made.

This bill is recommended by the Committee on District Courts.
