EFFECT: Only requires the court to enter into a payment plan with an individual if the obligation has not been referred to a collections agency for civil enforcement; prior to referring an obligation for collection, requires the court provide a person with information on how to submit evidence of inability to pay and request a payment plan rather than attempt to enter into a payment plan; shortens the time period from 120 days to 45 days from the date of the infraction before the court can refer the obligation to a collections agency; authorizes driver's license suspension for an individual who fails to set up a payment plan or comply with the terms of a payment plan for any monetary obligation owing as a result of a traffic infraction for a moving violation.
