STMCLIR 1.5
REQUIREMENTS FOR PAYMENT FOLLOWING INFRACTION HEARINGS
1. If a defendant who has been charged with a traffic or
other infraction filed with the SeaTac Municipal Court is
found to have committed that infraction, absent extenuating
circumstances, the defendant shall make payment in full of
the amount of the penalty at the time of the hearing in
which the defendant was found to have committed the infraction.
2. Time payments on infractions will be permitted only
upon a showing of exceptional and exigent circumstances in
court, at the time of the hearing on the contested
infraction. The decision by the judge to authorize time
payments in infraction cases shall be subject to the
conditions set at the time of the order authorizing time payments.
3. Failure to make payment on the penalties for committed
infractions shall be enforceable pursuant to otherwise
applicable court rule, state law or administrative code regulations.
Notice
Pursuant to SeaTac Local Court Rule 11, the SeaTac
Municipal Court will not permit time payments following
infraction hearings. Therefore, if a monetary penalty is
imposed by the Judge, it will be necessary for you to be
prepared to pay the penalty in full immediately following
the conviction. Failure to pay the penalty amount
immediately following the hearing will result in an
additional $47.00 penalty and a suspension of your driver's
license by the Department of Licensing.
[Former Rule 11 adopted September 15, 1994; amended and
renumbered as STMCLIR 1.5 effective September 1, 2003]
