The description could have been a little more descriptive. What it is asking for is that anyone who needs an interpreter will be forced to pay for said interpreter if they are found guilty. No doubt many will simply say they don't need one when they really do. Why don't charge for the labor costs for the police who arrest them? Their food in prison? This is a bad idea. But probably will help mr. Janis with his next election.
