Fines and costs; period of limitations on collection, deferred payment agreement.

Summary

The bill shortens the time the state can collect court fines and costs to ten years after a judgment, no matter which court issued it. It also mandates that anyone sentenced to prison who owes fines, costs, or penalties must receive a payment plan that starts after their release, and the collection clock begins on that due date. The changes aim to simplify collections and protect people in custody from immediate debt pressure.
