This bill amends R.S. 13:991(A) to update the judicial expense fund for the Nineteenth Judicial District Court in Louisiana. It specifies that the clerk of court will collect a filing fee of up to sixty dollars from individuals filing civil suits, which is an increase from the previous maximum of fifteen dollars. Additionally, in criminal cases, a cost of up to five dollars will be imposed on defendants who are convicted or forfeit their bond, which will be added to any other fines or costs.

The bill also makes several clarifications in the language regarding the judicial expense fund, including changing references from "nineteenth judicial district" to "Nineteenth Judicial District" and establishing the fund's purpose more clearly. These changes aim to enhance the funding for judicial expenses in the district, ensuring that the court can adequately support its operations and services.
