Committee sends bill to establish priority of payments in juvenile corrections cases to print
Summary
RS 33147 would set a priority system for distributing payments in juvenile corrections cases to address multiple assessed fees and unpaid balances, according to court counsel; the committee voted to send the bill to print.
Jason Spillman, Legal Counsel for the Administrative Office of the Courts, told the committee RS 33147 aims to clarify how payments received in juvenile corrections cases are allocated when multiple fees are assessed and balances remain unpaid.
Spillman said the proposal mirrors earlier direction given for criminal cases in 2018 and "established a priority system to reflect how the received payments were distributed." Senator Lent moved to send RS 33147 to print and Senator Ruchti seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
The bill seeks to reduce uncertainty the courts encounter when multiple juvenile fees are outstanding and payments are received in partial amounts. The minutes record the committee's decision to print the bill but do not include a roll-call vote or further amendments.
