Bill > H1765

This bill amends the existing law regarding court filing fees for civil motor vehicle infractions. It allows violators to contest responsibility for an infraction by requesting a non-criminal hearing within 20 days of receiving the citation. The bill specifies the procedures for such hearings, including the admissibility of the citation as evidence, the right to appeal the magistrate's decision, and the requirement for the violator to pay an assessment if found responsible. The bill also includes provisions for the uniform imposition of assessments by the courts and the stayed payment of assessments during any appeals process.
