Civil Legal Assistance Fund; provide for an assessment to be used for.

HB 1111 would add a $1.00 assessment on certain criminal and traffic fines to fund Mississippi's Civil Legal Assistance Fund. This assessment applies to people convicted of traffic violations (excluding DUI), DUI-related offenses, and game/fish law violations, with the $1.00 specifically allocated to the Civil Legal Assistance Fund while the rest of the fine goes to the State General Fund. The bill aims to generate dedicated funding for legal aid services, primarily benefiting low-income Missourians (Mississippi residents) facing civil legal issues like housing disputes or family law matters. The bill was referred to committees but died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not advance further.
