Bill summary
Senate committee substitute to the 2nd edition makes the following changes.
Amends GS 20-217(g2) to add that failure to pay costs (as well as fines) imposed under the statute will result in the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) withholding registration renewal. Specifies that the clerk of superior court in the county where the case was disposed must notify DMV of a person failing to pay a fine or costs within 20 days of the date specified in the court's judgment. Requires the DMV to continue to withhold registration renewal until the clerk of superior court notifies the DMV that the person has satisfied the applicable conditions of GS 20-24.1(b) (which includes conditions similar to those specified in the previous edition).
Makes a clarifying change to GS 20-54(11).
