With the consent of the Judge of the Municipal Court a person alleged to have committed an offense pursuant to the Traffic Code of the City may elect to attend Traffic School.
Traffic School shall be operated under the supervision of the Chief of Police who shall establish written procedures covering applications to attend traffic school, and the duration and curriculum of Traffic School. Persons wishing to attend Traffic School shall with their application to attend, pay to the Director of Finance a fee for such school in an amount equal to the fine and costs which would have been assessed if they had been convicted of the charged offense. In the event that an individual is charged with two or more offenses arising out of the same incident, the fee shall be equal to the greatest fine and costs which would have been assessed on a single charge, plus twenty dollars ($20.00) for each additional offense. The Municipal Judge shall provide to the Clerk of the Municipal Court a list setting forth the normal fine and costs for each offense contained in the City ordinances.
Pending the successful completion of Traffic School, the charges against a person enrolled in Traffic School shall not be tried nor shall any plea of a defendant be required. Upon successful completion of Traffic School said charges shall be dismissed with prejudice.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, no person who is alleged to have violated Section 333.02 or 347.24 of the Codified Ordinances of the City shall be eligible to attend Traffic School; nor shall any person be permitted to attend Traffic School more than one time during any twenty-four consecutive month period.
