What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who is convicted of a crime may be assessed certain

costs associated with his or her crime. Current law allows a court to assess costs and

fees incurred in connection with the arrest, preliminary examination, and trial of the

person, but generally, a person may not be assessed the costs of routine

investigations. Under current law, a person who is convicted of certain crimes may

be assessed specific costs that are related to those particular crimes.

Under this bill, a person who is convicted of obstructing a law enforcement

officer by providing false information to the officer or placing physical evidence with

the intent to mislead the officer may be assessed the costs incurred by the law

enforcement agency when it investigated or responded to the false information or

evidence.
