New York Stipulated Fine is a type of penalty for certain minor offenses in the state of New York. It is a pre-set fine that can be paid in lieu of appearing in court. It is typically imposed for traffic violations, such as speeding, running a red light, and failing to obey a traffic sign. Other common offenses that may be subject to a stipulated fine include disorderly conduct, littering, and possession of a small amount of marijuana. There are three types of stipulated fines in New York: a standard fine, a conditional discharge, and an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. A standard fine is a set amount of money that must be paid to the court; a conditional discharge normally requires no payment but may involve other conditions, such as community service; and an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal may include a fine and other conditions, such as attending a driver's safety program.
