Stale Citation — DMV Hold Removal
Connecticut citations enforced via DMV registration hold under CGS §14-150b can age out where the underlying citation cannot be properly proved or where the municipality fails to follow §7-152c notice requirements. A citation more than 6 years old (CGS §52-576 contract SoL) is generally unenforceable as a civil judgment.
Legal basis
CGS §14-150b (DMV holds); CGS §52-576 (6-year SoL); CGS §7-152c
