HB 25-1294

House Bill 25-1294, which has been signed into law, ensures that court costs and fees charged to juveniles before July 6, 2021, will be canceled permanently. Previously, these charges were set to be reinstated in 2025, but the new law removes this deadline, providing long-term relief for young people who had financial penalties from past cases. This affects anyone under juvenile court supervision who incurred costs before the specified date and ensures they won't have to pay those fees anymore.

Official Summary

Current law requires a court to vacate any court costs and fees assessed to a juvenile under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court prior to July 6, 2021, however, this requirement repeals on June 30, 2025. The act removes the June 30, 2025 repeal. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
