Amnesty Program
California Superior Courts in all 58 counties are offering a 50 percent off discount on some old unpaid traffic tickets. It’s a limited-time "Amnesty Program" for certain outstanding court debt. More than 6 million cases statewide could qualify.
The program begins January 1, 2012, and ends June 30, 2012.
Only traffic tickets that were due to be paid before January 1, 2009, are eligible.
To qualify for the 50 percent discount, all of the following conditions must be met:
- You have an outstanding traffic or non-traffic infraction case that was due to be paid in full before January 1, 2009
- You either failed to appear in court or failed to pay in full
- The last date you made a payment was on or before January 1, 2009
- You don’t owe restitution to a victim on any case within the county where the traffic case was filed
- You have no outstanding misdemeanor or felony warrants within the county where the traffic case was filed.
Parking tickets and misdemeanor cases are not eligible.
After January 1, 2012, please contact the Placer County Revenue Services Division at www.placer.ca.gov/Departments/Admin/Revenue.aspx
