Here's the full press release.

INDIANAPOLIS – Don Snemis, Commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), is reminding Hoosiers to take advantage of the agency’s Reinstatement Relief Program before it expires at the end of the year. The Reinstatement Relief Program allows suspended drivers to pay temporarily reduced reinstatement fees and earn reinstatement, as long as all other legal requirements for reinstatement are met.

“This program offers a 50% discount on reinstatement fees incurred before July 1, 2013, for operating a vehicle without insurance, as long as those fees are paid before the end of the year,” said Snemis. “The Reinstatement Relief Program has been a tremendous success and we want all eligible Hoosiers to benefit from it while it is still available. The BMV loses its authority to offer the discount at the end of the year.”

Since the program was implemented in July of 2014, more than 10,800 customers have paid back over $2.2 million in reinstatement fees. These results far exceed comparable numbers from the same period last year.

“This program is important because it helps people get back on the road legally,” said Snemis.

To pay reinstatement fees, customers may login or create a myBMV.com account and check their eligibility. Reinstatement fees cannot be paid at license branches. Customers who participate in the Reinstatement Relief Program may also be responsible for completing other tasks before earning back their driving privileges, including providing proof of insurance, completing a driver safety program, paying court fees, or successfully passing a driver’s license written knowledge exam, driving skills exam or vision screening. Reinstatement fees incurred on or after July 1, 2013, and fees imposed by courts, are not included in this program.
