The new law assesses an additional $10 fee to the already existing $20 fee or 2% of the bail bond, whichever is higher. This fee will help battered women and children across the state of Mississippi by contributing to the funding of shelters, crisis lines, counseling and educational programs to prevent domestic violence.
