What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, when a municipal courts finds that a person has violated an ordinance, the municipal court judge may collect a court fee of not less than $15 nor more than $28 from the person. Of that fee, the municipal treasurer forwards $5 to the Department of Administration and retains the balance for use by the municipality.
This bill increases the maximum court fee to $38.
