Senate Bill 1913 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and Transportation Code to revise provisions relating to the administrative, civil, and criminal consequences, including fines, fees, and costs, imposed on persons arrested for, charged with, or convicted of certain criminal offenses. The bill provides for alternatives to the payment of those fines, fees, and costs, such as waiving the payment, discharging the payment through community service, or imposing a combination of the alternatives, due to the defendant's inability to provide the payment, as applicable.
