Supreme Court of Florida

Jourdan Daniel Parks v. State of Florida

June 12, 2025411 So. 3d 414

Summary

The court held that the statutory minimum costs for the state attorney must be imposed in every applicable case, even when the State does not request them. It reasoned that the specific mandatory language governing those costs controls over the general request requirement for other prosecution or investigative costs. The court approved the First District's decision and disapproved the contrary interpretation.
