requiring the division of motor vehicles to extend a fine payment period for certain motor vehicle violations from 30 days to 90 days if the driver requests the extension.

HB 321 allows drivers who plead guilty or nolo contendere to certain motor vehicle violations (without court appearance) to request a payment extension for fines. If eligible (with no other unpaid fines or violations), drivers can extend the initial 30-day payment period to 90 days, and request a second 90-day extension if they cannot pay within the first period. The bill requires the Division of Motor Vehicles to implement this change through administrative rules, effective January 1, 2026. It directly affects drivers facing eligible traffic fines who need more time to pay.
