Error and/or relief
We modify the judgment to vacate the booking fee imposed pursuant to former Government Code section 29550.2.
Holding:
The main jail booking fee (former Gov. Code, sec. 29550.2), imposed by the trial court at the early 2021 sentencing hearing and reimposed at the 2025 hearing, was repealed by the passage of AB 1869, effective July 1, 2021 AB 1869 enacted Government Code section 6111, which provides that on and after July 1, 2021, the unpaid balance of any court-imposed costs pursuant to section 29550.2 is unenforceable and uncollectible and any portion of a judgment imposing those costs shall be vacated. (Gov. Code, sec. 6111(a).) Accordingly, the main jail booking fee reimposed at the 2025 sentencing hearing must be vacated.
