What’s in it

AI summary County attorneys can now start collecting unpaid fines or penalties shortly after they become overdue. Local governments can also set up new ways to collect this money, such as taking it directly from a person's tax refund. These changes affect cities and counties that are trying to collect money owed from court cases.1
