The 54A, 54B and 55th District Courts are currently offering a way to help local residents clean up their criminal records by the end of April.
The courts are offering an amnesty program for those who have a warrant for their arrest for failure to pay fines and costs. The online amnesty program offered by 54A district court in Lansing and 54B District Court in East Lansing provides for a 20 percent reduction in the amount due for qualified defendants that pay in full from April first to the 30th.
The online program will ask individuals a series of qualifying questions to determine if they are eligible to resolve the arrest warrant online and if eligible and payment is made in full, the warrant will be canceled.
54A District Court 54B District Court will be offering their program online, while the 55th district court offers the program for individuals who appear at the court and meet with collections personnel.
Requests for comment from the City of East Lansing were not returned Tuesday afternoon.
