INDIANA – A new traffic amnesty program could be a big help to those with suspended licenses.

The Traffic Amnesty Program, which started January 1st will run through the rest of the year.

Indiana legislators approved House Enrolled Act 1141 to provide amnesty for one year only for any fees resulting from traffic tickets or suspensions that occurred prior to 2019.

The program allows for up to 50 percent of fines and fees to be reduced, making it easier for people to pay off tickets and get licenses reinstated.

Some groups estimate 185,000 Hoosier drivers could be eligible for the penalty restrictions.
