Relating to increasing the reimbursement fee for certain expenses related to pretrial intervention programs.

HB 1221 increases the maximum reimbursement fee for pretrial intervention programs in Texas from $500 to $1,200 per defendant. This change directly affects county and district attorneys' offices, which will collect the higher fee to cover program-related expenses like administrative costs. The bill applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, with prior cases governed by the previous $500 fee limit.
