Collection

Prior to transfer to the civil judgment docket any judgment resulting from an adjudication of responsibility for a civil penalty, the Justice of the Peace Court may, but is not obligated to, attempt collection efforts using the processes available through the Office of State Court Collections Enforcement (OSCCE). If collection efforts are initiated by the Court through OSCCE, transfer of the judgment to the civil docket shall be delayed for a period of time not to exceed 2 years from the date of the finding of responsibility.
