AI Summary
This bill modifies how the state handles unpaid court financial obligations, such as fines and fees, by removing the previous "court cost compliance program" and instead authorizing courts to pursue civil enforcement actions, like garnishment, against individuals who fail to adhere to payment plans. It also updates the summons form to inform defendants about these potential civil actions and removes procedures related to "cost arrest warrants," which were used to detain individuals for non-payment. The bill aims to streamline the collection process for delinquent court debts by allowing for more direct civil remedies.
