July 2024: News & Events

Celebrating Independence


"The Declaration of Independence states the principles on which our government, and our identity as Americans, are based. Unlike the other founding documents, the Declaration of Independence is not legally binding, but it is powerful.


Abraham Lincoln called it “a rebuke and a stumbling-block to tyranny and oppression.” It continues to inspire people around the world to fight for freedom and equality."

Sacramento Superior Court is now offering an online tool, MyCitations, for those struggling to pay traffic infraction fines.

It allows individuals to request a reduction for

their infraction citation, particularly in cases of financial need.

Users may also request a payment plan, more time to pay, or community service in lieu of payment.
