Bill > H1361

This bill proposes to amend a section of Massachusetts General Laws related to civil motor vehicle infractions, specifically Chapter 90C, Section 3, Subsection (A), Paragraph (4). The key provision is that a $25 court filing fee, which is paid when someone appeals a civil motor vehicle infraction, will be returned to the person who filed the appeal (the petitioner) if the court official, either a magistrate or a justice, determines that the person is "not responsible" for the infraction. This means if the appeal is successful and the court finds the person did not commit the violation, they will get their filing fee back.
