AI Summary
This bill modifies existing law regarding costs that can be imposed on a defendant after a criminal conviction. Specifically, it removes a sunset provision that would have ended the court's ability to impose certain costs related to the general operation of the trial court, such as salaries for court personnel and expenses for court facilities, after December 31, 2026. This means these types of costs can continue to be imposed on defendants indefinitely. The bill also clarifies that defendants cannot be imprisoned for failing to pay these costs unless the court finds they have the ability to pay and have not made a good-faith effort to do so.
