Bill Summary

Relative to license reinstatement fees for drivers without a conviction. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the fees for reinstating a driver's license or operating rights in Massachusetts under different circumstances. Specifically, the bill establishes a $500 fee for reinstating a license suspended or revoked under certain sections of Massachusetts law related to motor vehicle operations, including sections covering driving-related offenses. For more serious offenses, such as those under specific subsections of section 24, the fees can increase to $700 or $1,200, depending on the severity of the violation. Importantly, the bill stipulates that these higher fees will only be charged if the person was actually convicted of or admitted to the offense. The bill also introduces a $100 fee for license reinstatements under other general or special laws, with the fee for suspensions under certain sections being set to match the fee for the corresponding Massachusetts offense. This legislation aims to standardize and potentially adjust the financial consequences for drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked.
