HB 4112 removes a $10 court fee for traffic offenses (excluding parking violations) and deletes another specific fee assessment (Section 1313.3). It affects individuals convicted of certain crimes who would have paid these fees, including traffic offenses.

Additionally, it adds provisions to waive uncollectible court financial obligations and updates reporting requirements for collected fees.
