HB 1811 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Noxubee County; extend repeal assessments in justice court used for county capital improvements.

HB 1811 extends the expiration date of a Noxubee County, Mississippi, court assessment program from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2036. The bill allows the county to continue collecting $50 per implied consent conviction (e.g., DUI cases) and $25 per misdemeanor conviction or civil case filed in justice court, with these funds placed into a dedicated "Capital Improvements Fund" for local projects. This directly affects Noxubee County residents who pay these court fees, as the revenue will support infrastructure and capital projects. The key change is the 10-year extension of the program's authorization, maintaining the existing fee structure and funding mechanism without altering the assessment amounts or fund usage.
