§ 12-62. Fees.
(a)
Warrant fee. The county justice courts shall collect a warrant fee of $120.00 for each warrant a court is required to issues as the result of a failure to appear, which includes any failure to appear at a scheduled, or otherwise required, court appearance. This fee applies to all forms and types of warrants and shall be added to the amount set forth in the arrest warrant.
(b)
Suspension fee. The county justice courts shall collect a suspension fee of $50.00 for each suspension of a state driver's license or privilege to drive in the state which a court is required to issue as the result of failure to pay a civil sanction, or a default judgment in a civil traffic matter.
(c)
Photo radar fee. The county justice courts shall collect a photo radar fee of $12.00 for each photo radar citation processed by the court.
(d)
Deposit into general fund. All fees collected under this section shall be received by the justice courts in a manner consistent with the state supreme court accounting standards and deposited with the treasurer on a monthly basis for deposit into the county general fund.
(e)
Annual review. The fees imposed by this section shall be reviewed by the court administration to ensure that the amount collected does not substantially exceed (or fail to defray) the actual costs associated with the processing of warrants, suspensions or photo radar citations. If appropriate, the court administrator shall recommend an upward or downward adjustment of the fee to the board of supervisors prior to the start of the next fiscal year.
