or within a designated utility work zone or while activities are ongoing in a traffic incident

management zone or while a uniformed firefighter is directing traffic within a fire station

work zone.

(7) C.G.S. ¡ì 14-212b requires payment of an additional fee equivalent to 100% of the

fine established or imposed for violation of C.G.S. ¡ì 14-218a or C.G.S. ¡ì 14-219 when

such violation is committed within a designated school zone.

(6) C.G.S. ¡ì 14-212c requires payment of an additional fee equivalent to 100% of the

fine established or imposed for certain infractions committed when a driver of a vehicle

fails to grant or yield the right-of-way to a person riding a bicycle, eletric bicycle, or an

(8) C.G.S. ¡ì 14-295a requires the payment of an additional $5 assessment for convictions of C.G.S. ¡ì 14-219 and for those who plead nolo contendere to a violation of C.G.S.

¡ì 14-219 and pay the fine by mail.

(9) C.G.S. ¡ì 22a-250(b) requires that a surcharge in an amount equal to 50% of the fine

for littering against any person convicted of littering on public land.

(10) C.G.S. ¡ì 51-56a(d) requires that an additional fee of $25 be paid by each person

who pays in any sum as a fine for any violations for C.G.S. ¡ì¡ì 14-218a; 14-219; 14-222;

14-223; 14-227a; 14-227m; 14-227n; 14-230 to 14-240 inclusive; 14-241 to 14-249, inclusive; 14-279 for a first offense; 14-289b; 14-299; 14-300; 14-300d; 14-300j; 14-301 to 14303, inclusive; or any regulation or ordinance adopted under said sections.

Note that, according to C.G.S. ¡ì 14-296aa(i), an operator of a motor vehicle who commits a moving violation, as defined by C.G.S. ¡ì 14-111g(a), while engaged in any distracted driving activity prohibited by C.G.S. ¡ì 14-296aa shall be fined in accordance with

C.G.S. ¡ì 14-296aa(h), in addition to any penalty or fine imposed for the underlying moving violation.

The fines established by the judges of the Superior Court for mail-in speeding violations

are incorporated in the ¡°Total Amount Due¡± figures which are specially printed in the

charts in Appendix C and Appendix D.

If a person with one or more infractions or mail-in violations wishes to pay the ¡°Total

Amount Due,¡± payment shall be considered a plea of nolo contendere. Payment of an

infraction or mail-in violation will be considered as a finding of guilty for administrative

purposes only. Pursuant to C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164n, payment by the defendant cannot be used in

any civil or criminal action to establish the conduct of the person making the payment,

although the defendant may be subject to administrative sanctions by either the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection or the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.

An infraction is a breach of a state law, regulation or local ordinance designated by the

Legislature, for which an appearance in court is usually not required and payment of the

amount due by mail or in person is authorized pursuant to C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164n. An infraction

is neither a crime nor an offense as defined in the penal code. The maximum fine for conviction of an infraction is $90. There is no right to a trial by jury in matters involving

infractions.

Unless expressly identified as an infraction, an offense for which the only sentence

authorized is a fine, is a violation. C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164n lists certain violations for which an

individual shall either pay the fine and additional charges or plead not guilty. There is no

right to a trial by jury in any matter involving violations payable pursuant to C.G.S. ¡ì 51164n where the maximum penalty is a fine of $500 or less.

The judges of the Superior Court, as authorized by C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164m, have established a

schedule of fines for infractions and for certain motor vehicle, boating and miscellaneous

violations. The Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, as authorized by

C.G.S. ¡ì 23-4, has established a schedule of fines for infractions which deal with breaches

of regulations for the preservation and protection of parks and forests. These fines are

incorporated in the ¡°Total Amount Due¡± figures which are printed on the following pages.

The schedule for motor vehicle infractions and violations is set up both alphabetically and

numerically. If a fine for any infraction has not been established, pursuant to C.G.S.

¡ì 51-164m, the fine for that infraction shall be $35 or, if the infraction is for a violation of

any provision of title 14, $50, until such time as the judges of the Superior Court establish

a different fine for such infraction. If a fine for any violation has not been established, pursuant to C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164m, the fine for that violation shall be $100 or the maximum fine

specified by statute for such violation, whichever is less.

Each ¡°Total Amount Due¡± figure appearing in this schedule is the sum of the fine and,

where applicable, the following additional amounts established by statute:

(1) C.G.S. ¡ì 51-56a(c) requires payment of an additional fee of $1 for each $8 or fraction

thereof of the fine for all speeding violations under C.G.S. ¡ì 14-219, for all infractions and

for certain other motor vehicle violations, except that as to infractions, such additional fee

shall be only on the first $88 of the fine for such infraction.

(2) C.G.S. ¡ì 54-143(a) requires a $15 cost against any person who pleads nolo contendere (no contest) to, or is convicted of, a speeding violation under C.G.S. ¡ì 14-219 or a

speeding infraction.

(3) C.G.S. ¡ì 54-143a requires a $20 surcharge against any person who pleads nolo contendere to, or is convicted of, certain violations or any infraction, except that such cost

shall be $35 for a violation of any section of the general statutes, the violation of which is

identified as an infraction and carries a fine of $35 or more.

(4) C.G.S. ¡ì 13b-68 establishes the Special Transportation Fund (S.T.F.) and C.G.S.

¡ì 13b-70 requires that an additional amount equal to 50% of the amount of the fine against

any person who commits a speeding violation under C.G.S. ¡ì 14-219 and various other

1

If a person alleged to have committed a motor vehicle infraction or violation which is payable through the Centralized Infractions Bureau elects to send payment of the fine and any

additional costs (total amount due) to the Centralized Infractions Bureau, no points shall

be assessed by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles against that person's operator's

license for such infraction or violation except that the Commissioner shall assess not less

than one point for any violation of section 14-296aa of the General Statutes for the

improper use of a hand-held mobile telephone or mobile electronic device by a motor

vehicle operator or school bus driver.

Even though an infraction or mail-in violation will not cause automatic suspension of a

driver's license or registration, it may be recorded on the motorist's motor vehicle history.

If a minor wishes to pay for an infraction or for a mail-in violation, the complaint must

be signed by a parent or guardian.

If a person who is issued a Complaint Ticket pleads not guilty by mail, that person must

sign the not guilty plea which appears on the back of the complaint and mail it to the Centralized Infractions Bureau in the envelope provided for such a purpose. Pleas of not guilty

may also be entered online. Please refer to for more

information. A plea of not guilty will be transferred by the Centralized Infractions Bureau

to the Geographical Area court location covering the area where the infraction or mail-in

violation was committed. That court will notify the person of the date for trial. During the

trial, all court formalities, including rules of evidence and procedure, will apply.

A defendant who fails to submit a payment or file a not guilty plea at the Centralized

Infractions Bureau faces additional criminal and administrative sanctions. Any or all of

the possible sanctions may be imposed against a defendant who does not respond.

In all infractions matters, the defendant's failure to act constitutes the misdemeanor of

Failure to Pay or Plead to an Infraction, in violation of C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164r(a). A defendant

can be arrested and required to appear in court, where that person may face a maximum

penalty of imprisonment of not more than 10 days in addition to the penalties imposed

pursuant to the original infractions matter.

In all matters concerning the violations specified in C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164n, the defendant's

failure to act forms the misdemeanor of Failure to Pay or Plead to a Violation, in violation

of C.G.S. ¡ì 51-164r(b). A defendant who fails to pay or plead to such a violation can be

arrested and required to appear in court, where that person may face a maximum penalty

of imprisonment of not more than 10 days in addition to the penalties for the original violations matter.

If a case involves a motor vehicle infraction or violation, a defendant's failure to respond

can also lead to a report by the court to the Department of Motor Vehicles under C.G.S.

¡ì 14-140, which may result in the suspension of the defendant's license. If the court orders

action under C.G.S. ¡ì 14-140, the defendant will be required to pay a large fee to the clerk

to open the case. If the defendant's license is in fact suspended by the Department of

Motor Vehicles, that person will also be required to pay a fee directly to that department to

get their license back, as required pursuant to C.G.S. ¡ì 14-50b(a).

If the case involves an infraction or violation under Chapter 268 of the General Statutes

concerning boating, failure to respond may also result in a report by the court to the

Department of Motor Vehicles under C.G.S. ¡ì 15-154. This may result in the suspension

of the boat registration for up to 30 days.

All payments of fines or pleas of not guilty to infractions and mail-in

violations listed in this schedule must be forwarded to:
