Eliminates driver's license suspension for failure to pay parking tickets; requires registration suspension for more than five parking tickets.
This bill eliminates driver's license suspension for unpaid parking tickets or missed court appearances. Instead, it requires suspension of a vehicle's registration for individuals with more than five unpaid parking fines or penalties. The law includes a 30-day delay before registration suspension takes effect, requiring written notice explaining the reason and how to resolve the issue. It also mandates that courts offer payment alternatives (like installments or community service) based on a person's ability to pay. The bill directly affects New Jersey residents with multiple unresolved parking violations.
