AN ACT concerning local government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section |
5-1103 as follows:
|
(55 ILCS 5/5-1103) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1103)
|
Sec. 5-1103. Court services fee. A county board may enact |
by ordinance or
resolution a court services fee dedicated to |
defraying court security expenses
incurred by the sheriff in |
providing court services or for any other court
services deemed |
necessary by the sheriff to provide for court security,
|
including without limitation court services provided pursuant |
to Section
3-6023, as now or hereafter amended. Such fee shall |
be paid in civil cases by
each party at the time of filing the |
first pleading, paper or other appearance;
provided that no |
additional fee shall be required if more than one party is
|
represented in a single pleading, paper or other appearance. In |
criminal,
local ordinance, county ordinance, traffic and |
conservation cases, such fee
shall be assessed against the |
defendant upon a plea of guilty, stipulation of
facts or |
findings of guilty, resulting in a judgment of conviction, or |
order of
supervision, or sentence of probation without entry of |
judgment pursuant to
Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, |
|
Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, Section |
70 of the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act,
|
Section 12-4.3 or subdivision (b)(1) of Section 12-3.05 of the |
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, Section |
10-102 of
the Illinois Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependency |
Act, Section 40-10 of the
Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and |
Dependency Act, or Section 10 of the
Steroid Control Act. In |
setting such fee, the county board may impose,
with
the |
concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in which |
the county
is located by administrative order entered by the |
Chief Judge,
differential
rates for the various types or |
categories of criminal and civil cases, but the
maximum rate |
shall not exceed $25, unless the fee is set according to an |
acceptable cost study in accordance with Section 4-5001 of the |
Counties Code.
All proceeds from this fee must be used to |
defray court security expenses
incurred by the sheriff in |
providing court services.
No fee shall be imposed or collected,
|
however, in traffic, conservation, and ordinance cases in which |
fines are paid
without a court appearance. The fees shall be |
collected in the manner in which
all other court fees or costs |
are collected and shall be deposited into the
county general |
fund for payment solely of costs incurred by the sheriff in
|
providing court security or for any other court services deemed |
necessary by
the sheriff to provide for court security.
