HB244: An Act To Amend Title 10, Title 11, Title 21, And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Fines, Fees, Costs, Assessments, And Restitution.

Legislative Summary

Recognizing the negative impact of criminal justice imposed financial obligations on defendants has led to reforms across the country to reduce the financial burdens that disproportionally impact the poor. This type of debt and the collateral consequences of suspending a drivers license negatively impacts the rehabilitation of those in the criminal justice system and pushes those without an ability to pay further into the system unnecessarily.
