SMITH,MICHAEL.

   55 ILCS 5/4-5001          from Ch. 34, par. 4-5001                          
   725 ILCS 5/110-7          from Ch. 38, par. 110-7                           

        Amends the Counties Code.  Provides for a $10 fee for sheriffs to      
   commit any prisoner to or discharge any prisoner  from  jail.   Amends      
   the  Code  of Criminal Procedure of 1963.  Includes the deposit of any      
   fee for commitment to or discharge from jail as a condition  before  a      
   person is released from custody subject to conditions of a bond.            
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Courts Administrative Office)                  
          While there would be some cost to implement HB 4976 at the           
          county level, it is anticipated that the fiscal impact of the        
          new arrest fee on the judicial branch would be minimal.              
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Illinois Courts Administrative Office)                
          HB 4976 would neither increase nor decrease the number of            
          judges needed in the State.                                          
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          725 ILCS 5/110-7                                                     
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          55 ILCS 5/Art. 4, Div. 4-1 heading                                   
          55 ILCS 5/4-1002 new                                                 
          55 ILCS 5/5-1103                from Ch. 34, par. 5-1103             
        Deletes everything. Amends the Counties  Code.  Provides  that  a      
   county  board  may  by ordinance impose and collect an increase in any      
   statutorily authorized fee when justified by an acceptable cost  study      
   showing  that  the  current fee is not sufficient to cover the cost of      
   providing the service. Provides that the county board must  prepare  a      
   statement  of  the  costs  of  providing  each  service  and  that all      
   documents in support of the increase are subject to public  audit  and      
   inspection. Provides that the provisions authorizing a county board to      
   increase any statutorily authorized fees if justified by an acceptable      
   cost  study do not apply to any fees of the Clerk of the Circuit Court      
   as provided in the Clerks of Courts Act. Provides for a  $10  fee  for      
   sheriffs  in  counties  of  first and second class for committing each      
   prisoner to and discharging each prisoner from jail. Provides that the      
   court service fee shall be $25 (currently,  a  differential  rate  for      
   different  categories  of  criminal  or civil cases, but not to exceed      
   $15). Effective December 1, 2002.                                           
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois Courts Administrative Office)          
          The new fees on commitment to and release from jail and the          
          court services fee changes would have no direct fiscal impact        
          on the judicial branch, though the change to the court services      
          fee would impact the courts by creating additional revenues for      
          court security measures. The authorization to increase fees          
          based on cost studies would have a significant impact on the         
          judicial branch, if court related fees were increased. It is         
          not possible to estimate the dollar amount of any fiscal impact      
          on the judicial branch, because fee changes would vary by            
          county.                                                              
          JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois Courts Administrative Office)        
          This legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number      
          of judges needed in the State.
