SB 293 Payment of fines and costs.

Introduced by: Edward M. Holland | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Payment of fines and costs. Restricts persons with outstanding fines and costs from registering or renewing registration of their motor vehicle. The bill also (i) requires the acceptance of checks and credit cards in the circuit and district courts, (ii) allows the court to require a defendant to appear in court on a future date certain to show cause for failure to pay fines/costs if there has been such a failure to pay, (iii) allows the court to require community service for discharge of debt instead of merely as an option for the defendant, and (iv) requires the collection of fines/costs from persons on home/electronic incarceration work release by the program administrator in the same manner as is done in jail work release programs. The Attorney General is required to superintend the collection of outstanding judgments and is requested to provide a report to the 1995 Session detailing that Office's implementation plan for increasing the collection of unpaid fines and costs.
