Bill Summary
Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in penalties and disposition of fines, further providing for inability to pay fine and costs.
AI Summary
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) increasing the daily rate for imprisonment from $40 to $120 for unpaid balances, and (3) allowing courts to order community service in lieu of paying fines and costs if the person is without the financial means to do so. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and options for individuals who cannot afford to pay fines and costs related to vehicle offenses in Pennsylvania.
