relative to repayment regarding appointed counsel for indigent criminal defendants.

HB 611 proposed requiring indigent criminal defendants (those who cannot afford a lawyer) to repay court-appointed attorneys after their cases concluded. The bill aimed to establish a formal repayment mechanism for legal services provided to low-income defendants in criminal cases. However, the committee voted 25-0 on October 30, 2025, to deem the bill "Inexpedient to Legislate," meaning it was rejected and did not advance further. The bill remains inactive as it was not enacted into law.
