Bill Summary

Relative to the suspension or revocation of a license or registration. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow the Massachusetts Registrar of Motor Vehicles to suspend or revoke the driver's license, learner's permit, or vehicle registration of individuals who have outstanding municipal fines that remain unpaid after a certain period of time. The bill defines an "outstanding municipal fine" as a legally enforceable fine resulting from a violation of a local rule, regulation, or ordinance that remains unpaid 25 days after the due date or 15 days after the individual has exhausted all administrative and legal remedies. The Registrar is required to implement this provision and provide a hearing process for individuals to challenge the existence of an outstanding municipal fine.
