Fine amnesty program to
take place June 2011
SKAGIT COUNTY - Skagit County
District Court Presiding Judge Warren M. Gilbert announced that a fine amnesty/relicensing
program will take place during the month of June 2011.
The amnesty program will offer defendants who have court fines, an opportunity
to pay off outstanding fines in full by reducing or eliminating accrued interest
and collection costs. In many cases, this will allow participants to re-obtain
driver's licenses that have been suspended due to failure to pay fines. Defendants
who are unable to pay their fines in full may also set up payment plans under
this program. The District Court and Municipal Courts will participate in this
program.
Those interested in the fine amnesty program are encouraged to contact the courts
to which they owe fines, or the appropriate collection agency where fines have
been assigned to such an agency.
For more information, contact Pam Springer at the Skagit County District Court
at (360) 336-9319.
