§863.1.2. Reinstatement Relief Program
A. The commissioner of the office of motor vehicles is authorized to implement a Reinstatement Relief Program for persons who owe reinstatement fees imposed pursuant to R.S. 32:863 for having a lapse in insurance coverage.
B. The commissioner shall determine the amount of reinstatement fees that the person owes. The person shall promptly pay the amount determined to be owed no later than ten calendar days from the date that the commissioner sets the amount that is owed. If the person needs to make payment arrangements, the person shall execute an installment agreement with the office of motor vehicles. Such an installment agreement shall only be for the amount determined to be owed by the commissioner together with all fees associated with the installment agreement as provided in R.S. 32:429.4.
If a person executes an installment contract, that person shall maintain eligibility to remain in the Reinstatement Relief Program only if they make all payments required in the installment agreement. If a person fails to make a timely payment and fails to pay the missed payment with the associated late fee before the next scheduled payment, the person shall be removed from the Reinstatement Relief Program and shall not be eligible to reenter the Reinstatement Relief Program.
C. The commissioner may request such documentation and information from the person as is necessary to determine the amount of any payment and the number of any payment, including but not limited to income tax returns and prior bankruptcy filings.
D. If the person successfully completes the Reinstatement Relief Program, the office of motor vehicles shall issue documentation to the person indicating the amount of debt that was paid and the amount of debt that was forgiven.
