Bill Summary

Relative to the suspension or revocation of motor vehicle licenses for the failure to pay municipal fines. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws to allow the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to suspend or revoke the driver's license, learner's permit, or vehicle registration of any person who has an outstanding municipal fine that remains unpaid for at least 25 days (or 15 days after exhausting all appeals). The bill requires the RMV to prohibit the issuance or renewal of such licenses, permits, or registrations upon receiving notice from a city or town, and to allow their issuance or renewal once the outstanding fine is paid. The bill also requires the RMV to establish regulations to implement this process and provide an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the existence of the outstanding fine.
