62-B and 63rd District Courts conclude successful warrant/parking ticket waiver program
The 62-B and 63rd District Courts have concluded their month-long waiver program, jointly resolving 281 cases by collecting $70,001.81 in past due fines/costs. Specifically, the 63rd collected $41,927.00 in payments on 179 cases, the 62-B collected $28,074.81 in payments on 102 cases.
During March 2019, the program allowed individuals to come into compliance with court orders by settling debts without penalty or incarceration. The program addressed outstanding warrants for non-compliance with a court order of fines, fees, court costs and any outstanding traffic or parking tickets that were in default or suspension.
“We are really pleased with how the waiver program went and that it helped so many people from our community to resolve their business with the court,” said 63rd District Court Chief Judge Sara J. Smolenski. “Judge O’Hara and I appreciate our administration and staff, and the team at the 62-B District Court for their hard work on this program and ongoing dedication to serving the public.”
“We are pleased that so many people were able to clear up the suspensions of their driver’s licenses and arrest warrants,” said 62-B District Court Chief Judge William G. Kelly.
Any individuals who have outstanding debts or would like to discuss any past-due fines and costs may contact 616-698-9310 (62-B) or 616-632-7770 (63rd).
