Requires town attorneys in the county of Nassau to collect fines
Bill A 2259 requires town attorneys in Nassau County towns to collect unpaid fines, restitution, or reparation imposed on corporations after sentencing. It amends the criminal procedure law to mandate that these town attorneys initiate collection proceedings if corporations fail to pay fines immediately upon sentencing. The law specifies that unpaid amounts must be collected "in the same manner as a judgment in a civil action," with town attorneys responsible for pursuing collection instead of the state or county attorney. This directly affects Nassau County town attorneys and corporations convicted of offenses requiring payment.
