Take Action

If you are one of millions of New Yorkers living paycheck-to-paycheck, paying off just one traffic ticket and its associated court fees can mean missing rent, going without food, and losing healthcare. Those who can’t afford to pay these fines and fees live with the constant fear of being arrested and jailed.

The End Predatory Court Fees Act (A4183) will help break this vicious cycle of poverty and punishment by:

• Eliminating the mandatory surcharge and mandatory minimum fines
• Eliminating probation fees
• Ending incarceration and commissary garnishment for unpaid fines and fees

Please add your name to the petition below to let your representatives know you support the End Predatory Court Fees Act. Every message counts!
