Provides that if a person is not able to pay a monetary penalty in full, the court shall enter into a payment plan with the person. "Payment plan," as used in this act, means a plan that requires a person to pay an initial payment of not less than five percent of the total owed, followed by reasonable payments in an amount established by the court.

Provides that if a person has not entered into a payment plan with the court and has not paid the penalty in full on or before the time established for payment, the court shall notify the department of the delinquency, and the department shall suspend the person's driver's license or driving privilege until the penalty has been paid, or until the person has entered into a payment plan under this act and has paid the initial payment.

Provides that, if a community service program for offenders is available in the jurisdiction, the court shall offer to convert all or part of the monetary penalties due under this act to community service if the person is unable to make reasonable time payments.
