<div class="petition-text embedly"><div class="intro-copy what"><p>This petition is in support of the Traffic and Parking Ticket Penalty Amendment Act of 2017, which removes penalties that are imposed when a person fails to answer a parking or traffic violation 30 or 60 days after a ticket was issued.</p></div><div class="why"><p>This bill is important because every 3 minutes, someone in the district receives a ticket. Traffic and parking tickets place a burden on district residents because it acts as a regressive tax, especially for those who don't have the means to pay.</p></div></div>
