  § 1-10.1. Additional assessment for operation and administration of teen court.  

Latest version.

  • Marion County hereby adopts a mandatory cost to be assessed as provided for herein, and incorporates by reference the provisions of F.S. § 938.19(2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7). Assessments collected by the clerk of the circuit court pursuant to this section shall be deposited into an account specifically for the operation and administration of the teen court:

    (1)

    A sum of up to $3.00 shall be assessed as a court cost in the circuit and county court in the county against each person who pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, or is convicted of, regardless of adjudication, or adjudicated delinquent for a violation of a criminal law, a delinquent act, or a municipal or county ordinance, or who pays a fine or civil penalty for any violation of F.S. Ch. 316. Any person whose adjudication is withheld under F.S. § 318.14(9) or 318.14(10) shall also be assessed the cost.

    (2)

    The assessment for court costs shall be assessed in addition to any fine or civil penalty or other court cost and may not be deducted from the proceeds of that portion of any fine or civil penalty that is received by a municipality in the county or by the county in accordance with F.S. §§ 316.660 and 318.21. The assessment shall be specifically added to any civil penalty paid for a violation of F.S. Ch. 316, regardless of whether the penalty is paid by mail, paid in person without request for a hearing, or paid after hearing and determination by the court. However, the assessment may not be made against a person for a violation of any state law or municipal or county ordinance relating to the parking of vehicles, with the exception of a violation of the handicapped parking laws.

    (3)

    The clerk of the circuit court shall collect the assessments for court costs established in this section and shall remit the assessments to the teen court monthly.

    (4)

    The clerk of the circuit court shall withhold five percent of the assessments collected, which shall be retained as fee income of the office of the clerk of the circuit court.

    (5)

    The teen court must account for all funds received under this section in a written report to the board of county commissioners. The report must be given to the commissioners by August 1 of each year or by a date required by the commissioners.

    (6)

    The teen court shall be administered by the court administrator.

    (7)

    The teen court may not receive court costs collected under F.S. § 939.185(1)(a)4.

Editor's note

Ord. No. 96-24, § 1, adopted Aug. 6, 1996, provided for the assessment of additional court costs for support of teen court. Such ordinance did not specify manner of codification; hence, designation as § 1-10.1 has been at the discretion of the editor.
