HB 2574 Reimbursement for public defender fees.

Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Reimbursement for public defender fees. Provides that if a public defender is appointed or assigned to a case, the amount taxed against the defendant for legal representation shall be paid to the Commonwealth regardless of whether the defendant is charged and convicted with a violation of a state statute or a local ordinance. This will prevent the court from receiving a payment from the locality that it then pays back to the locality when payment is made by the defendant. If payment is received at a later date (perhaps through the Debt Collection Act), the money is sent to the convicting court and then reimbursed to the locality.
