2 ordinance, and conservation cases (except parking,
3 registration, or pedestrian violations), or upon a sentence of
4 probation without entry of judgment under Section 10 of the

6 Substances Act.
7     Such additional amounts shall be assessed by the court

16 or additional amounts are subject to disbursement by the
17 circuit clerk under Section 27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
18 Such additional penalty shall not be considered a part of the
19 fine for purposes of any reduction in the fine for time served

21 each year the Circuit Clerk shall submit a report of the amount
22 of funds remitted to the State Treasurer under this subsection
23 (c) during the preceding calendar year. Except as otherwise
24 provided by Supreme Court Rules, if a court in imposing a fine
25 against an offender levies a gross amount for fine, costs, fees

28 deducting from the gross amount levied all fees of the Circuit
29 Clerk, the State's Attorney and the Sheriff. After deducting
30 from the gross amount levied the fees and additional penalty
31 provided for herein, less any other additional penalties
32 provided by law, the clerk shall remit the net balance
33 remaining to the entity authorized by law to receive the fine
34 imposed in the case. For purposes of this Section "fees of the
35 Circuit Clerk" shall include, if applicable, the fee provided
36 for under Section 27.3a of the Clerks of Courts Act and the

7 additional $100 fee to the clerk. This additional fee, less 2
8 1/2% that shall be used to defray administrative costs incurred
9 by the clerk, shall be remitted by the clerk to the Treasurer
10 within 60 days after receipt for deposit into the Trauma Center
11 Fund. This additional fee of $100 shall not be considered a
12 part of the fine for purposes of any reduction in the fine for
13 time served either before or after sentencing. Not later than
14 March 1 of each year the Circuit Clerk shall submit a report of
15 the amount of funds remitted to the State Treasurer under this
16 subsection (c-5) during the preceding calendar year.

21 credit card provided for in Section 27.3b of the Clerks of
22 Courts Act.
23     (c-7) In addition to the fines imposed by subsection (c),
24 any person convicted or receiving an order of supervision for
25 driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs shall pay an
26 additional $5 fee to the clerk. This additional fee, less 2
27 1/2% that shall be used to defray administrative costs incurred
28 by the clerk, shall be remitted by the clerk to the Treasurer
29 within 60 days after receipt for deposit into the Spinal Cord
30 Injury Paralysis Cure Research Trust Fund. This additional fee
31 of $5 shall not be considered a part of the fine for purposes
32 of any reduction in the fine for time served either before or

24     (d) In determining the amount and method of payment of a
25 fine, except for those fines established for violations of
26 Chapter 15 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, the court shall
27 consider:
28         (1) the financial resources and future ability of the
29     offender to pay the fine; and
30         (2) whether the fine will prevent the offender from
31     making court ordered restitution or reparation to the
32     victim of the offense; and
33         (3) in a case where the accused is a dissolved
34     corporation and the court has appointed counsel to
35     represent the corporation, the costs incurred either by the
36     county or the State for such representation.
