Existing law authorizes a court to: (1) impose certain fines, administrative assessments, fees and other monetary penalties under certain circumstances; and (2) take certain actions relating to the collection of any such fine, administrative assessment, fee or other monetary penalty. (See, e.g., NRS 62E.430, 176.059-176.087, 193.130, 484A.7043) Section 1 of this bill prohibits a payment plan entered into by a defendant with the court from requiring the defendant to pay interest or any fee charged specifically for entering into the payment plan. Section 1 also authorizes a court to adopt certain rules and procedures concerning payment plans. Section 5 of this bill repeals provisions of existing law that authorize a court to order a defendant for whom an attorney is appointed at public expense to pay all or any part of the expenses incurred by the county, city or State in providing the defendant with an attorney. (NRS 178.3975-178.39802) Instead, section 2 of this bill prohibits a court from ordering a defendant for whom an attorney is appointed at public expense to pay any part of the expenses incurred in providing the defendant with an attorney. Sections 3 and 4 of this bill make conforming changes to reflect the repeal of certain sections by section 5.
