This bill proposes the assessment of an additional court cost of fifty dollars ($50) in Choctaw County for all civil, criminal, and quasi-criminal cases filed in the circuit court, district court, and municipal court. The collected funds will be directed to a special fund known as the "Jail Fund," which is established to cover the costs associated with maintaining, repairing, and operating the county jail and jail complex, as well as any debts incurred from its construction.
The bill specifies that these additional costs will be collected by the court clerk in the same manner as existing court costs and will be exclusively used for the designated purposes related to the county jail. The act will take effect only upon the ratification of a local constitutional amendment that allows for the imposition of these additional court costs in Choctaw County. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided.
