HB 1500 -- Court Costs

Sponsor:  Mayer

This bill increases from $2 to $3 a surcharge that counties and
municipalities may assess and increases from $1 to $2 a surcharge
that is required to be assessed in criminal cases involving
criminal or traffic laws, county ordinances, or municipal
ordinances for law enforcement training.  The maximum amount that
may be retained by counties or municipalities for this purpose is
increased from $1,500 to $3,500, with excess funds to be
transferred to the general revenue fund of the county or
municipality.  The bill also requires the Attorney General's
office to investigate any alleged supplanting of these funds by a
county or municipality and requires all funds found to be
supplanted to be reinstated.
