Bill > H2101

This bill allows the city of Springfield to use certain collection methods for outstanding fines, fees, penalties, or costs related to the use of fireworks or pyrotechnics. Specifically, if an outstanding balance remains unpaid for 14 days after a demand is made, the city can send a notice of warrant to the delinquent person. If the balance is not paid within 30 days of the notice, the city can have the vehicle(s) associated with the violation impounded. After 1 month of impoundment, the city can sell the vehicle(s) at a public auction. The bill also allows the city to transmit information about the delinquency to the police department, which can then take action to impound the vehicle(s). This bill aims to provide the city with additional tools to collect outstanding balances related to fireworks or pyrotechnics violations.
