Harrison County; authorize assessments on convictions for improvements to courthouses and pretrial dention facilities.

This Mississippi bill authorizes the Harrison County Board of Supervisors to charge an extra fee on people convicted in local courts to help pay for courthouse and jail repairs. The fee is set at $25 for most convictions but $50 for driving under the influence cases, excluding those who are already paying other court costs. The collected money must be used specifically for fixing and renovating the county's justice facilities, and this rule will end on July 1, 2028.
