Summary

The bill stops the enforcement of fraud and economic‑crime fees in any Tennessee county that has adopted a $12.50 court cost to help fund its district attorney’s office. Any money already collected under those fees must be held by the district attorney until the new court‑cost revenue matches the amount, then the funds are sent back to the county. This change aims to simplify funding for DA offices and return money to local governments.
