Texas SB2554 creates amnesty, indigency, and incentive programs for traffic fines.

Texas SB2554 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish amnesty, indigency, and incentive programs for traffic fines. The amnesty program applies to fines issued before September 1, 2023, and unpaid after September 1, 2025. Justice and municipal courts must establish these programs, allowing applicants to apply online, by phone, in person, or by mail. The indigency program reduces fines for those who prove indigency, while the incentive program reduces fines for those with incomes below 300% of the federal poverty level.
