  • The program will start Monday and run through April 29.
  • Amnesty eligibility may vary by location. People interested in the program should contact the district court(s) in the jurisdiction where they received the ticket(s) to determine eligibility and find out how to participate in the program.
  • This is a one-time effort to clear a backlog of cases. Once free from the backlog, the court(s) will continue to move more aggressively to enforce and collect on unpaid tickets, including all penalties and late fees.
  • All payments must be cash, certified check, money order or credit card.
