The Senate bill requires restitution to be paid, but not court fees and fines if those have been converted to a civil lien, which often happens. It has yet to be heard on the Senate floor.
Many owe fines, fees or restitution, and some owe so much that they’ll never be able to vote.
And the cost to the state could be enormous. Florida has no system to track restitution, and creating one could cost millions of dollars.
