SB 6065: Defaulting defendent/costs

Allowing costs to be imposed against a defaulting defendant.

Summary

  • Costs, not to exceed $100, may be imposed upon a defendant to cover the expense of preparing and serving a warrant for failure of the defendant to appear at court. These costs constitute a judgment against the defendant at the time of imposition and the judgment survives the dismissal of the underlying action against the defendant.
