Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 815 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to allow debit cards to be used to pay for costs, fees, bond forfeitures, and other charges that are due and owing to the courts, provided that bail postings and driver's license and vehicle registration clearances shall be paid by cash only. In addition, this bill allows the courts to pay a service fee for the use of a debit card service.

The Judiciary supported this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 815 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
