Introduced
by
To prohibit a court from imposing court costs and fees for a civil traffic infraction unless the civil fine is ordered to be paid, regardless of the violator’s ability to pay. Local libraries receive part of their funding from these fines.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Passed in the Senate 35 to 0 (details)
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute prohibits a court-ordered civil fine from being waived unless the associated court costs are also waived, rather than prohibiting a court from imposing court costs and fees for a civil traffic infraction unless the civil fine is ordered to be paid, as in the Senate-passed version.
The substitute passed by voice vote
