Bill > H1812

This bill establishes a medical delay for the payment of civil motor vehicle fines and municipal parking tickets for persons suffering from a serious illness. The bill allows the Registrar of Motor Vehicles or the city/town to grant a "medical necessity grace period" if a person provides a doctor's certification of a serious illness and demonstrates financial hardship. During the grace period, no late fees, fines, license suspensions, or activity holds will be imposed due to non-payment. The grace period can be extended if the person's illness and financial hardship continue. Once the grace period expires, the person has 40 days to pay the full amount before facing penalties. The Registrar is also required to establish criteria for determining financial hardship.
