House Bill No. [insert number] amends existing laws regarding installment agreements for outstanding fines, penalties, and fees owed to the office of motor vehicles in Louisiana. The bill introduces provisions that allow missed scheduled payments to be added to the end of the payment schedule for the first three missed payments. However, upon a fourth missed payment, a late fee of $25 will be assessed. The office of motor vehicles is required to notify debtors via email about missed payments and provide an opportunity to update payment information. If the debtor rectifies the missed payment and pays the late fee, the installment agreement remains in effect until further missed payments occur.

Additionally, the bill outlines the conditions under which a debtor may be removed from the Reinstatement Relief Program. If a debtor fails to meet the requirements of the installment agreement, they will be removed from the program and will not be eligible to reenter. The bill emphasizes the importance of timely payments and establishes a clear process for notifying debtors of potential consequences, including the suspension of their driver's license if payments are not made current within a specified timeframe.
