Bill Summary

Relative to license reinstatement fees for drivers without a conviction. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing law by adjusting the license reinstatement fees for drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked, but who do not have a conviction. Specifically, it sets the reinstatement fee at $500 for suspensions or revocations under certain sections of the law, such as those related to alcohol-impaired driving. However, the bill also specifies that no person shall be required to pay these higher fees unless they were actually convicted or pleaded guilty to the underlying offense. For other suspensions or revocations, the bill sets a lower $100 reinstatement fee, with the exception of those related to the Operating Under the Influence (OUI) law, which would have a fee commensurate with the corresponding Massachusetts offense.
