S.694

Remove Barriers to Employment from Court Debt

Introduced·3/25/25

North Carolina S694 aims to remove barriers to employment caused by court debt and establish a text reminder system for court dates.

North Carolina S694 seeks to address employment barriers due to court debt by setting automatic expiration of license revocations based on nonpayment of fines, penalties, or costs for motor vehicle offenses. The bill mandates the Division of Motor Vehicles to collect data on license suspensions and reinstatements, disaggregated by various demographics. It also requires the Division to publish a report on the number of suspensions terminated, the number of people whose licenses were reinstated, and the total amount of fees waived.
