Motor vehicles; removing license suspension requirement for nonpayment of court-ordered financial obligations; effective date.

Summary

The bill changes Oklahoma law so a driver’s license cannot be suspended simply because a person hasn’t paid court‑ordered fines, costs, or fees. Courts must hold a cost hearing to determine ability to pay, can waive debts for those who can’t afford them, and may not charge extra fees for the hearing or related warrants. It affects anyone sentenced to a financial obligation and aims to protect low‑income drivers from losing their licenses.
