[HB-266]
This Bill removes a provision by which either the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or the Deputy Administrator for the Justice of the Peace Court was required to verify the final disposition of a case before a previously paid fine could be refunded. This Bill changes the practice in the Justice of the Peace Court to mirror that of the Court of Common Pleas, allowing the court clerk, subject to the internal controls now in place in the Court, to verify the final disposition of a case when a fine should be refunded.
