This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law imposes various penalties and assessments upon fines, penalties, and forfeitures imposed on defendants and collected by the courts for criminal offenses. Those charges include a state surcharge of 20% levied on the base fine, as specified. Existing law requires the full amount of that surcharge to be transmitted from the clerk of the court to the State Treasury and deposited in the General Fund. This bill would repeal the 20% state surcharge.
