Minor revenue decrease - General Fund
Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements
	This legislation provides the court with provisions that apply only if failure to pay fines by offenders is determined to be "unexcused".  This "unexcused" determination allows the fine to be worked off through community service as well as authorizing credit for confinement and detention.  It is assumed that this legislation will result in a minor decrease in revenue collections by the Judicial Department.
