Miami-Dade announced Operation Green Light, an initiative that will reduce the costs of restoring the driver's license of county residents who have had it suspended for the reasons contemplated in this program.
According to the Clerk of Court and Comptroller of Miami-Dade County, Juan Fernández-Barquín, who authorized this operation, the objective is to help residents solve the problem.
"This initiative reduces the burden on our residents who want to do the right thing by paying their legal obligations," said Fernández-Barquín.
He explains that for 21 days he has authorized his office to "remove collection fees, which reduces residents' obligations and gives them the ability to establish a payment program, if necessary, to reinstate driver's licenses in some cases".

Generally, a driver's license suspension occurs when a person has unpaid traffic tickets, fails to comply or appear for a traffic citation, or accumulates suspension points, among others.
"The goal of Operation Green Light is to help as many residents as we can during this period."
All court-related financial obligations can be addressed from this Wednesday, April 10 through April 30, at times ranging from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
