Oregon City Municipal Court is offering a program to help individuals resolve long-standing traffic case debts.
This is the third time the Oregon City Municipal Court Amnesty Program has been offered. The last two times the program was offered, the City was able to resolve 240 cases and recover nearly $150,000 in delinquent payments.
“We’ve received great feedback and positive results since the first Amnesty Program in 2017 and again in 2021,” said Court Manager Wanda Shell. “This year, we’re aiming for even greater success with a focus on closing more cases and getting more people back on the road legally,” she said.
The program opens on Feb. 15 and runs through June 15. Participants can receive a 50% reduction in their fees if their account is three years or older and their fines have been sent to a collections agency. Those reduced fees must be paid in full by June 15.
“Our goal is to continue spreading the word and offering people a second chance to clear up their debts and restore their driving privileges. We’re excited for what’s to come and hope this will be our best year yet,” said Shell.
To learn more about the program, people may contact the Oregon City Municipal Court at 503-905-3675.
