🚦 Operation Green Light: Limited-Time Opportunity to Reinstate Your Driver’s License (Pinellas County)

The Pinellas County Clerk of Court is hosting a special, limited-time event designed to help eligible individuals pay off outstanding balances and potentially reinstate their driver’s licenses —all while saving money on collection fees.
