Driver License Suspension Over Unpaid Tickets In New York State Ended

by CrownHeights.info

A troublesome law that allowed the state to suspend the license of ticket scofflaws in New York State has ended, after the Governor signed legislation last week stopping it.

According to the Associated Press, New York drivers who can’t afford to pay the entirety of a traffic fine will be able to do so via installments and will no longer face the risk of their licenses being suspended for that debt.

The Driver’s License Suspension Reform Act signed by the Governor ends the practice of suspending the licenses of people who haven’t been able to pay their finesl, and allows those whose license is currently suspended to get them back.
