Summary

The bill changes where civil fines collected for violations of state statutes go, sending the money exclusively to public libraries and county law libraries. It leaves untouched any fine increase tied to civil infractions under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. The change is meant to preserve library funding that was lost when misdemeanor penalties became civil infractions.
