§2267.5. Costs of analysis and examination
In addition to other methods of funding, each defendant who enters a plea of guilty or is convicted of a crime in which the investigation required the gathering, examining, and analysis of evidence by scientific means by the Acadiana Criminalistics Laboratory, which submitted a certificate stating its findings to the appropriate law enforcement or prosecuting agency, shall be ordered to pay the reasonable costs of the analysis or examination. However, the defendant shall not be liable if he is acquitted or the prosecution or proceeding is dismissed.
