INDIGENT DEFENSE: Changes the municipality threshold relative to the mandatory assessment and remittance of special costs to the district indigent defender fund

This bill modifies Louisiana law to exempt the town of Addis from a requirement that most other courts must charge a $45 fee to a state indigent defender fund when defendants are convicted of certain crimes. The change applies specifically to criminal cases where a person is found guilty after a trial, enters a guilty plea, or forfeits their bond, excluding parking violations. By removing Addis from the list of jurisdictions required to collect this fee, the bill allows the town to keep those funds locally rather than sending them to the district fund. This adjustment affects only the town of Addis and does not alter the rules for other courts or municipalities.
