A. Penalty Assessment: Any person convicted of an offense punishable by a fine of ten dollars ($10.00) or more or by incarceration, excluding parking and standing violations, or any person forfeiting bond when charged with such an offense, shall be ordered by the court to pay nine dollars ($9.00) as a separate penalty assessment, which shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any and all fines and penalties otherwise provided for by law for such offense. The court shall provide for separate bail for the penalty assessment. A defendant admitted to bail on an undertaking by a surety may include the amount of the penalty assessment in the undertaking.
B. Administrative Fee: Upon conviction or bond forfeiture, the court shall collect the penalty assessment and deposit it in an account created for that purpose. As an administrative fee for handling funds collected as a penalty assessment, the court is authorized to retain two percent (2%) of such monies and may also retain all interest accrued thereon prior to the due date for deposits as provided in this subsection. The remainder of such monies shall be forwarded monthly by the court clerk to the state treasury. Deposits shall be due for each month by the fifteenth day of the following month. (2000 Code § 6-139; amd. Ord. 1066, 1-8-2008, eff. 2-7-2008)
C. Fingerprinting Fee: Any person convicted of any offense punishable by a fine of ten dollars ($10.00) or more or by incarceration, excluding parking and standing violations, or any person forfeiting bond when charged with such offense shall be ordered by the court to pay a fingerprinting fee in an amount designated by state law for each offense. The fee shall be in addition to and not in substitution of the amount for state law enforcement officer training fund.
D. Convicted Defined: As used in this section, "convicted" means any final adjudication of guilt, whether pursuant to a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or otherwise, and any deferred or suspended sentence or judgment. (2000 Code § 6-139)
