The bill establishes a booking fee of thirty dollars ($30) for each person booked into the Covington County Detention Center who is subsequently convicted of a crime. This fee is in addition to any other fines, court costs, or charges and does not apply to defendants housed in the detention center on behalf of a municipality. The fee will be assessed upon conviction, collected by the court clerk or sheriff, and the revenues generated will be directed to the Covington County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Fund for various jail operations and law enforcement needs.

Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for the collection of the booking fee, including the potential involvement of the district attorney and the sheriff in cases of non-payment. It allows the sheriff to withhold funds from incarcerated individuals to cover the booking fee and mandates monthly reporting of collected fees to the court clerk. The act will take effect following the ratification of a constitutional amendment proposed in the 2024 Regular Session, which authorizes the Legislature to impose additional court costs in Covington County.
