Bill information
Summary
A bill to provide grants to States that do not suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a driver's license of a person or refuse to renew a registration of a motor vehicle for failure to pay a civil or criminal fine or fee, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill offers federal money to states that stop suspending or revoking driver's licenses because someone fails to pay fines or fees. Currently, many states take away or refuse to renew licenses for unpaid court fines, traffic tickets, or other fees. The bill incentivizes states to change this practice by providing grants (federal funding). The measure is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but not yet assigned to a for review.
