    pleading, paper, or other appearance.
        (2) In felony, misdemeanor, local or county ordinance,
    traffic, and conservation cases, the fee shall be assessed
    against the defendant upon the entry of a judgment of

    collected.
    (b) The proceeds of all fees enacted under this Section
must be deposited into the county's Judicial Department
Facilities Construction Fund and used for the sole purpose of
funding in whole or in part the costs associated with building
