Overview
This bill increases the amount of credit a person can receive for incarceration resulting from defaulting on court-imposed financial obligations or motor vehicle penalties. Specifically, it raises the credit from $50 to $90 per day of confinement. The bill amends existing law to allow courts to provide this enhanced credit when a person defaults and is incarcerated, aiming to provide greater incentive for payment and reduce the impact of default on incarcerated individuals.
