7/22/09-The Senate has unanimously approved the bill aimed at drivers ticketed for driving without insurance or a valid license, or those with at least six surcharge points for moving violations. The bill has moved to the Assembly for further consideration.
Sponsored by Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, S2903 would offer a 60-day grace period for drivers with outstanding motor vehicle surcharges to pay those surcharges without facing interest or collection costs. Anyone who doesn’t participate in the program would be charged an additional 5 percent penalty.
Drivers would pay $150 in surcharges for the first six points and $25 for every additional point.
According to the state Motor Vehicle Commission, the proposed amnesty program could generate $17 million in uncollected funds to the state. Drivers owe the state $538 million in uncollected surcharges.
Surcharges levied against drivers convicted of driving under the influence would not be eligible to take advantage of the amnesty period.
The bill is in the Assembly Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee.
