The program runs through Thursday, March 6 at the East Point Municipal Court, 2727 East Point Street.

Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. (Window operation will stay open until 6 p.m. to take amnesty walk-ins).

Saturdays 8 a.m.- noon

Fees stemming from Failures to Appear in Court will be waived.

During this period, residents can also apply to request restriction of an arrest record for non-violent crimes committed in East Point. The $25 application fee to request restriction on February 29 will be waived.
