Who is eligible?

Anyone who was issued a traffic civil infraction prior to Dec. 31, 2018 under the following jurisdictions:

How does it work?

Washtenaw County will waive all penalties and late fees if original fines and costs are paid in full. However, a $45 clearance fee assessed by the Michigan Department of State for suspended licenses will not be waived. It must be paid in order to re-instate a license.
