Synopsis
When defendants are late paying their fines, the courts’ clerks must forward the defendant’s name to the Department of Transportation’s Division of Motor Vehicles for license suspension. This Amendment prohibits a court or the Department of Transportation from suspending a driver’s license for nonpayment of a fine, fee, cost, or assessment and from charging a penalty, assessment, or fee to a defendant for the cancellation of a warrant issued due to the defendant’s nonpayment of a fine, fee, cost, or assessment.
