Bill > S2440

This bill, by adding a new section to Chapter 31-41.1 of the General Laws concerning the adjudication of traffic offenses, establishes a seven-year limit for the collection of motor vehicle violation fines and associated costs. Specifically, it prohibits the state, any municipality, or any court from attempting to collect these fines or costs if more than seven years have passed since the fine or cost became final and unappealable, meaning it could no longer be challenged in court. This new rule applies regardless of any existing laws, rules, or regulations that might otherwise allow for collection beyond this timeframe, and the act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
