Bill > S627

This bill proposes changes to the Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund, which is a fund established to assist individuals with spinal cord injuries. Specifically, it amends Chapter 10, Section 59A of the General Laws by increasing certain fees or surcharges related to motor vehicle violations. In Section 1, a fee of $50 is increased to $100, and in Section 2, another fee of $25 is increased to $50. Section 3 modifies the criteria for "surchargeable events," changing the requirement from "5 or more moving violations or surchargeable offenses" to "3 surchargeable events within any 2 year period or as a result of receiving surchargeable events." Finally, Section 4 introduces a new $100 surcharge for individuals seeking to reinstate their driver's license after a revocation or suspension, with $50 of this surcharge being transferred to the Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund.
