🔻REPOST:
The Driver's Responsibility Fee Bill was given to Gov Rick Snyder on 2/20 to sign. When he signs it will go into effect Oct 1st. The ONLY people whose fees will be IMMEDIATELY forgiven is those who are IN A PAYMENT PLAN....SO I ADVISE ANYONE who currently has fees to get in a payment plan. Ask for a plan that will allow you to pay at LEAST $50 a month, just get into a payment plan. If you ARE NOT in a payment plan your fees will ONLY be forgiven once you complete a workforce development training program (no word on how long that program is). SO, I TRULY advise anyone who currently has fees to GET in a PAYMENT plan so that your fees are IMMEDIATELY forgiven once the legislation takes effect Oct 1st.
Also, there will be a grace period (until Dec 31st), where you will NOT have to pay to get your license back ($125). Now, if you get into a payment plan, they will ask you do you want the reinstatement fee included in your fees, tell them NO!
