This Act repeals the DELJIS Fund fee imposed on criminal defendants. The elimination of this fee was recommended by the Criminal Legal System Imposed Debt Study Group created by House Bill 244, as amended by House Amendment No 2, of the 151st General Assembly, in its December 7, 2023 report. Any outstanding balances owed for this fee shall be discharged upon the Acts effective date. Per the Study Groups recommendation, the Act will become effective upon the specific appropriation of General Fund monies to replace DELJISs full spending authority of the repealed fee.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Deljis Fund.
