Bill > H1875

This bill amends a section of the Massachusetts General Laws related to court filing fees for civil motor vehicle infractions. The key provisions are: 1) It allows violators to contest responsibility for an infraction by requesting a non-criminal hearing within 20 days, unless they can show good cause for a late request. 2) It outlines the hearing process, including the admissibility of the citation as evidence and the right to appeal the magistrate's decision. 3) It requires violators found responsible to pay an assessment to the registrar, which must be paid within 20 days unless the magistrate allows more time, and this obligation is stayed during any appeals.
