Amnesty support programs
Three independent programs to help resolve outstanding citations before enforcement begins. Programs cannot be combined — choose the option that works best for you.
The amnesty support programs are for individuals with three or more citations that have not been paid within 60 days. If you have one or two citations, these programs do not apply to you.
