CORONERS: Provides relative to the Coroner's Operational Fund for St. Mary Parish
HB 470 amends the law governing the Coroner's Operational Fund in St. Mary Parish to ensure that any changes in court costs or fees require approval from the Judicial Council. The bill mandates that these fee adjustments only take effect after the Judicial Council confirms they meet specific legislative guidelines. This provision prevents the imposition or collection of new fees without this official oversight, directly affecting how the coroner's office manages its funding through court-related charges.
