    Amnesty program for eligible court fines - January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012   

The Central Collections Division of our office will be working with Butte County Superior Court to manage the statewide Amnesty Program for eligible court fines. The California Legislature has mandated (AB 1358) that every county implement a one-time amnesty period that allows a defendant to make a lump sum payment of 50% of the outstanding balance on certain violations to fully satisfy that court ordered obligation.
