Legislation Proposes Increased Fees at Traffic Court

Posted on Apr 1, 2011 in Courts, Local Issues

Rep. Reed Henderson D-Violet, has introduced a bill in the Louisiana state legislature which proposes an increase of $30 to the court costs already added to fines imposed in Orleans Traffic Court. [caption id="attachment_1856" align="alignright" width="258" caption="Photo Courtesy of NOLA.gov"][/caption] The proposed bill is reported to originate from concerns on the part of Traffic Court judges over the ability to sustain the court's judicial expense fund which is responsible for paying the city's Public Defenders.
