Bill > HB2192

This bill amends Section 6504 of Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which deals with the inability to pay fines and costs. The key changes are: 1) replacing the term "unable" with "without the financial means" to pay fines and costs, 2) allowing courts to order payment of fines and costs in installments, 3) authorizing courts to order community service in lieu of up to 50% of the original fine and costs, and 4) specifying that the court must fix the duration, time, and manner of the community service. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
