HB 994 -- THIRTIETH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT

SPONSOR:  Cunningham (145)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Judiciary by a vote of 15 to 0.

Under current law, a surcharge up to $10 may be collected as
costs in all criminal proceedings filed in the 30th Judicial
Circuit if the surcharge was authorized by a county or municipal
government order, ordinance, or resolution adopted prior to
January 1, 1997.  This bill removes the restriction that the
authorizing order, ordinance, or resolution must have been
adopted prior to January 1, 1997.

The bill also extends the sunset date for this section from
January 1, 2005, to January 1, 2010.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the extension of the sunset date
is necessary to ensure continued funding for the circuit juvenile
detention center.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Cunningham (145).

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
