Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 674 introduces changes regarding the collection of court costs, fines, and penalties. Notably, it clarifies that all overdue payments collected by debt collection agencies must be sent to the court without deducting any fees. This helps ensure that the court receives the full amount owed, which could improve financial recovery for the court system. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for a $10 late fee if payments are not made on time, which may incentivize individuals to pay their debts promptly.
