Fiscal note

Cost: up to $500,000 Compare with other bills

House File 2558 is estimated to cost approximately $500,000 in interpreter fees from the Jury and Witness Revolving Fund. Currently, the State Public Defender pays these fees from the Indigent Defense Fund. This Bill would transfer those costs to the Revolving Fund. As a result, the Indigent Defense Fund would experience a savings of approximately the same amount.
