MEDIA RELEASE –
The Cedartown Municipal Court System has announced the roll out of a summer amnesty program. The program, offered to individuals with past due traffic citations and bench warrants for failure to appear, will begin on July 19 and end August 30.
The amnesty program is designed to promote lawful driving privileges, settle outstanding violations with the court and reduce arrests.
Those individuals who wish to take part must visit the Cedartown Police Department, 118 N.
