Clerks of court throughout Florida have announced dates for their 2021 Operation Green Light events. Operation Green Light is a driver license reinstatement event held annually to reduce the number of driver license suspensions and give individuals with suspended driver licenses the chance to save on certain fees.

 “With many Floridians struggling financially, events like Operation Green Light are as important as ever,” said Chris Hart IV, chief executive officer of Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers. “Last year, Florida’s clerks of court helped residents save thousands in collection fees through virtual driver license reinstatement events. This clerk of court initiative reduces the burden on Floridians who are simply trying to do the right thing by paying back their obligations to the courts. More importantly, it helps those people regain driving privileges, so they can begin to move on with their lives.”

 In Florida, driver licenses can be revoked as a penalty when traffic tickets or other court obligations go unpaid. During Operation Green Light, many local clerks will work with individuals to lower or waive fees, so they can pay back their outstanding court obligations and have their license reinstated.
