Senate Bill 387 |
Senate Author: Nichols |
|
Effective: 5-10-13 |
House Sponsor: Clardy |
Current law requires a county with a population of 50,000 or greater to develop and implement a program to improve the collection of court costs, fees, and fines imposed in criminal cases. Senate Bill 387 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require the Office of Court Administration to grant a waiver of that requirement to a county that contains within its borders a correctional facility operated by or under contract with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and that has a population of 50,000 or more only because the inmate population of all such correctional facilities is included in that population.
