Authorizes court to impose rescue operation costs of public entity under certain circumstances.
This bill (S 483) requires courts to make individuals pay for rescue operation costs when they are convicted of specific offenses. It applies if someone commits criminal mischief (like damaging property) while also being found guilty of reckless driving, careless driving, or operating a vehicle unsafely. Courts can order these individuals to cover the actual costs incurred by public entities - such as police, emergency medical services, or pet/property rescue - during the response. The bill directly affects people convicted under these combined offenses, ensuring public agencies can recover expenses from those whose actions caused the need for rescue.
