Bill Summary
Relative to fees for an appeal of a civil motor vehicle infraction citation. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill, titled "To reduce court fees," proposes to amend a specific part of Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 90c, section 3, subsection (A), paragraph (4), which deals with fees for appealing a civil motor vehicle infraction citation. The key provision is that the fee associated with such an appeal will now be waived if the person who received the citation is ultimately found "not responsible" for the infraction, meaning they are cleared of the violation. This change aims to reduce financial burdens on individuals who successfully contest their traffic tickets.
