Bill Proposes Judicial Review of Proposed Court Cost Requests

The Times-Picayune reports that a bill requiring the review of proposed court costs associated with traffic tickets and other court fines "would be submitted to a special judicial council for review before the Legislature looked at the requests." The bill, which would not require that the Legislature follow the recommendation of the reviewing committee--the Judicial Council of the Louisiana Supreme Court, was approved unanimously by the Senate today. The bill now goes to the House for debate.
