The City of Chicago has passed an ordinance amending the Municipal Code, introducing programs like the Clear Path Relief Program and Administrative Debt Relief. The amendments address issues related to wheel tax license emblems, registration plates, and liability for violations, including penalties for late payment of fines. The Clear Path Relief Pilot Program offers debt relief for eligible participants with household incomes at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, covering impounded vehicle release fees and parking violations.
