District of Columbia Courts, Public Defender Service, and Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency Act of 2015 (Sec. 2) Amends the District of Columbia Code to authorize the Executive Officer of the District of Columbia courts to: collect debts owed to the District of Columbia courts because of erroneous payments made to current and former court employees, or any other debt; and purchase uniforms to be worn by certain nonjudicial employees of the District courts, so long as the cost of furnishing a uniform during a year does not exceed the amount applicable to the uniform allowance for federal employees. (Sec. 3) Amends the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 to authorize the Director of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency to develop and operate intermediate incentive programs for sentenced offenders.
