Section 28 Driver's License Non-Renewals 2

          Chapter 60A of the General Laws, is hereby amended by striking out section 2A, as appearing in the 2024 Official Edition, and inserting in place thereof the following section:-

          Section 2A. If an excise assessed under this chapter remains unpaid for 14 days after a demand therefor made more than 1 day after such excise becomes due and payable, and if the local tax collector or commissioner of revenue elects to utilize the services of a deputy collector, then said deputy collector or the local tax collector or commissioner of revenue, as the case may be, shall send a notice of warrant to the delinquent taxpayer. If the delinquent taxpayer does not respond within 30 days to said notice of warrant then a service warrant shall be made. If the tax remains unpaid after the service of warrant then the deputy collector may, at the discretion of the local collector, return the uncollected warrants of those delinquent taxpayers to the local tax collector or commissioner of revenue.

This section, together with related sections, eliminates the practice of imposing driver's license non-renewals and motor vehicle registration non-renewals for certain unpaid debts and provides for an alternative enforcement mechanism.
