IN RE:
HB3544 by Moody (relating to payment of certain court costs associated with interpreters.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implication to units of local governments cannot be determined. The Office of Court Administration does not track the appointment of court interpreters and most costs associated with interpreters are carried by local entities.
