Bill overview
This bill allows municipal courts in West Virginia to suspend a driver’s license if a defendant fails to pay traffic fines, court costs, or other penalties within a specified timeframe. The court can require the defendant to enter into a payment plan, subject to certain conditions and fees. If a payment plan isn’t established or payments aren’t made, the court can impose late fees, record a judgment lien, or send the debt to a collection agency, potentially leading to license suspension. The bill also addresses the suspension of licenses for failure to appear in court or respond to a traffic charge.
