RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 327 (HB 574) 2021 Regular Session Travis Johnson
Existing law establishes the Coroner's Operational Fund and a criminal court fee on certain
defendants dedicated to defraying the operational costs of the office of the coroner in the
parish in which the conviction occurred, and provides for an additional fee in certain parishes
for the support of the coroner.
Prior law provided for an additional fee of not more than $5 in all courts in Concordia Parish
for the support of the coroner, but such fee was subject to Judicial Council approval.
New law authorizes an additional fee of not less than $5 nor more than $10 on every
defendant who is convicted in any court in Concordia Parish to be used solely to defray the
operational costs of the coroner's office and repeals the prior law fee.
Effective upon signature of governor (June 14, 2021).
(Adds R.S. 13:5722(A)(2)(f); Repeals R.S. 15:5722(A)(2)(e))
