Louisiana Drivers May Now Repay Auto Insurance Fines in Installments
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed a bill authorizing driver payment plans to repay the state Office of Motor Vehicles for the outstanding fines.
Louisiana law requires drivers to have insurance on their vehicles. The state can revoke licenses and seize bank accounts and tax refunds if fines remain unpaid.
House Bill 245 from Rep. Denise Marcelle, a Baton Rouge Democrat, outlines six payment plans for drivers owing $250 or more. The largest plan offers installments for drivers owing more than $5,000.
