COURTS: Requests the Senate Committee on Finance to study court costs in suits involving the state and political subdivisions in the Nineteenth Judicial District Court.

This resolution requests the Senate Committee on Finance to study the unpaid court costs accumulated by the state and political subdivisions in the Nineteenth Judicial District Court. The bill highlights that the state currently does not pay filing fees for these cases, resulting in over $7 million in outstanding debt to the court. Its primary mechanism is to authorize a formal review to determine the total expenses incurred and identify a dedicated funding source to cover them. This action aims to address the financial burden on the court before the 2025 legislative session begins.
