“This gives people the chance for a break on what they owe going into the holiday season," said Judge James Piergies. “This amnesty event also coincides perfectly with the Reinstatement Fee Amnesty Initiative offered again by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.”

License forfeitures and vehicle registration blocks will be canceled once payment is received.

“A lot of these people that owe fines and fees were affected by the Memorial Day tornadoes and they are still dealing with the aftermath of the tornado,” said Clerk of Courts Mike Foley. “So any extra income that these people have right now helps out.”
