Fifty-fifth Legislature Second Regular Session - 2000
IN 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 satisfaction thereof, 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.
