Operation Green Light events are scheduled across the state of Florida, allowing drivers to reduce or waive certain fees tied to suspended licenses.

During the events, Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers (FCCC) said drivers can work with local clerks to lower or waive fees in order to pay back their outstanding court obligations and have their licenses reinstated.

The FCCC said drivers can meet one-on-one with clerks to review their cases, reduce or waive eligible fees and create payment solutions.

Officials said most of the statewide events are scheduled within a two-week period, from April 11 to April 25.

Multiple counties in the Tampa Bay area are participating in the annual statewide driver's license reinstatement event. The times, locations, details and participation vary by county.
