HB 1489, titled AN ACT Relating to creating a program for the consolidation of traffic-based financial obligations to facilitate reinstatement of driving privileges that are suspended because of failure to pay, has been passed by the House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary. The Office of Financial Management has identified this bill as requiring a ten-year projection of increased cost to the taxpayers or affected fee payers.

Ten-year projection:

The Department of Licensing does not have any I-960 impact. The legislation would allow those who enter into a consolidated payment plan with the Administrative Office of the Courts to reinstate upon acceptance of the plan rather than after all financial obligations have been met.

Indeterminate. It is unknown how many persons would be eligible, apply, and/or participate in the consolidated payment program. Further, it is unknown at this time whether the AOC would contract with an outside entity for administration of the program or would develop and administer the program internally.
