Rhode Island H7558 repeals the law allowing suspension of operator licenses for failure to pay fines.

Rhode Island H7558 repeals the section of law that permits the suspension of a person's motor vehicle operator license for failure to pay fines. This change means that the Division of Motor Vehicles will no longer suspend licenses based solely on unpaid fines or costs unless the person has failed to make satisfactory arrangements with the court for payment. The bill takes effect upon passage.
