The bill proposes the repeal of Section 31-11-25 of the General Laws in Chapter 31-11, which pertains to the suspension of motor vehicle operator licenses due to failure to pay fines. The current law mandates that the Division of Motor Vehicles suspend a person's license upon certification from a court clerk that the individual has not paid fines or costs associated with violations within the designated timeframe. It also includes provisions for the individual to request a hearing regarding their ability to pay before suspension occurs.
The bill does not introduce a new provision titled "31-11-25. Suspension for failure to pay fine," as previously stated. Instead, it entirely removes the existing language related to the suspension of licenses for failure to pay fines. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
