Section 25259.9 Of Chapter 3. Financial Powers From California Government Code >> Division 2. >> Title 3. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 3.
25259.9
. (a) The presiding judge may make an order discharging the
collection program from further accountability. The order shall have
the same effect as a discharge from accountability under Section
25259, which relieves the applicant from any further responsibility
for collecting the discharged debt, and does not constitute a release
of any person from liability for payment of any amount. Upon making
an order of discharge, the presiding judge shall direct the clerk of
court to enter record of the discharge in the court case file for
each debt and to post a copy of the order of discharge on the court's
Internet Web site for a period of not less than three weeks.
(b) Within 45 days after the end of the month in which any
discharge from accountability is approved, the court shall report to
the county the discharge from accountability for any court-ordered
debt or bail that the court would otherwise have been responsible for
collecting. The report shall include for each debt discharged: the
case number; whether the case is an infraction, misdemeanor, or
felony; the amount of the debt discharged; and the number of years
since the debt became delinquent.
(c) The Judicial Council, by rule of court, may establish the
process by which applications under Section 25259.7 are submitted and
reviewed or the standards for ordering a discharge.
