WEST PALM BEACH — The Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County is offering a lifeline to anyone with overdue traffic tickets or court fines in Palm Beach County by waiving the 25 percent collection agency fees from March 3 through March 7 during Operation Green Light.

This longstanding annual program allows anyone with a suspended driver license an opportunity to pay their overdue tickets, court fines and fees and get back on the road.

“Operation Green Light provides an opportunity for individuals who want to do the right thing and pay off their fines and other court costs but may need a little help,” said Joseph Abruzzo, Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller for Palm Beach County. “By waiving collection agency fees during Operation Green Light, our office and Clerk’s offices throughout Florida allow anyone with an overdue ticket to save money, reinstate their license and drive legally again.”

Participants in Operation Green Light can pay online, in-person or by phone. In many traffic cases, driver licenses can be reinstated on the same day fines are paid. For those unable to pay in full, the Clerk’s office can establish payment plans with set monthly payments.

Florida law requires the Clerk’s office to turn over unpaid tickets and other outstanding court fines and fees to an outside collection agency if the debt is not paid within 90 days of the due date. Those who don’t pay also have their driver license suspended.

Clerk Abruzzo is joining with other Clerk’s offices throughout Florida to host an Operation Green Light event. Operation Green Light originated in Palm Beach County in November 2014 before expanding statewide.
