SB 6315: Offender debts

Revising procedures for recoupment of assessments against offenders.

Summary

  • The authority of the Department of Corrections to collect offender debts is expanded to include other remedies after offenders are released from incarceration and no longer have institution accounts. The department is also required to record as a debt against an offender's institution account any costs assessed by a court against an inmate plaintiff where the state is providing a defense to the action.
