Dismissal Information



INSURANCE / FAIL TO DISPLAY DRIVER'S LICENSE DISMISSALS
The following offenses may be dismissed by the Judge with no charge if the defendant brings proof of a valid driver's license as required by law and/or proof of financial responsibility/insurance coverage as required by State Law. The defendant must bring the proof to the Municipal Court within the 14 consecutive days after the citation is issued. Proof submitted for the purpose of dismissal will be verified. Most of these dismissals may be processed at the court window without having to go before the Judge. The Judge cannot dismiss these citations without verification.
