H0622|||| LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF IDAHO |||| Fifty-fifth Legislature Second Regular Session - 2000IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HOUSE BILL NO. 622 BY JUDICIARY, RULES AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE 1 AN ACT 2 RELATING TO BAIL IN CRIMINAL CASES; AMENDING SECTION 19-2923, IDAHO CODE, TO 3 PROVIDE THAT CASH BAIL POSTED IN A CASE MAY BE USED TO SATISFY FINES, FEES 4 AND COSTS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPOSED IN THAT CASE OR WHICH HAVE BEEN IMPOSED 5 AGAINST THE DEFENDANT IN ANY OTHER CRIMINAL ACTION. 6 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho: 7 SECTION 1. That Section 19-2923, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 8 amended to read as follows: 9 19-2923. DEPOSIT APPLIED TO PAYMENT OF FINES, FEES AND COSTS. When the 10 money has been deposited, if it remains on deposit at the time of the 11 judgment,for the payment of a fine,the clerk must, under the direction of 12 the court, apply the money in satisfactionthereof,of fines, fees and costs 13 imposed in the case and fines, fees and costs which have been imposed against 14 the defendant in any other criminal action, and after satisfying the fines, 15 fees and costs, must refund the surplus, if any, to the party posting the 16 deposit.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS09931 This bill amends section 19-2923, Idaho Code, to permit the use of cash bail to satisfy fines, fees, and costs levied in any criminal action. Section 19-2923, Idaho Code, presently requires cash bail posted in a case to be applied against the fine levied in that case by the defendant, but is ambiguous concerning other fees and costs that may also be levied in that action, and is silent regarding delinquent fines, fees, and costs that have been imposed against the defendant in a separate criminal case. This bill will clarify these issues and will be helpful to the prompt collection of these amounts. FISCAL NOTE This bill will improve fine and court costs collections which will lead to additional revenue to various state and local funds, the amount of which cannot accurately be estimated at this time.
