AI Summary
This bill eliminates the suspension of a person's driver's license as a penalty for failure to pay or appear for outstanding parking tickets. Instead, the bill requires suspension of the person's motor vehicle registration if they fail to pay or appear for more than five parking tickets. The bill also allows courts to offer alternative payment options, such as installment plans or community service, for outstanding parking fines and penalties based on the person's ability to pay.
