H.B. No. 2282 amends Article 102.011(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to increase the reimbursement fee that a defendant must pay for the execution or processing of an arrest warrant, capias, or capias pro fine. The bill raises the fee from $50 to $75, which is intended to help defray the costs incurred by law enforcement agencies in these processes. The amendment specifies that the fee applies only if the law enforcement agency requests it from the court within 15 days of executing the warrant or capias, or if the warrant or capias was not executed.

The bill also clarifies that the changes will only apply to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. For offenses committed before this date, the previous law will remain in effect. This ensures that defendants are not retroactively subjected to the increased fees for actions taken prior to the new law's enactment.
