COURTS/COURT COSTS: Provides relative to the judicial expense fund for the 19th JDC

This bill amends Louisiana law to establish a specific judicial expense fund for the Nineteenth Judicial District Court. It requires individuals filing civil suits in this district to pay a fee set by the district's judges, which cannot exceed $15, while also allowing a $5 cost charge against convicted defendants in criminal cases. The collected funds are intended to support the operational expenses of the court, and the bill applies only to cases within the Nineteenth Judicial District.
