HD 1303 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to license reinstatement fees for drivers without conviction

HD 1303 sets reinstatement fees for drivers whose licenses were suspended or revoked for traffic violations. It establishes a $500 fee for most reinstatements (e.g., under Sections 22, 23, 24, 28, 34J), with higher fees of $700 or $1,200 for specific offenses under Section 24. Crucially, the bill states that higher fees apply only if the driver was convicted, placed on probation, or admitted guilt for the underlying offense. This directly affects drivers seeking to regain driving privileges after license suspension or revocation. The bill does not change the standard $100 fee for general suspensions or the $100 fee for suspensions under Section 22.
