If multiple offenses are involved, the person pays the jail surcharge on the basis of each fine or forfeiture, and if a fine or forfeiture is suspended in whole or in part, the person pays a reduced jail surcharge in proportion to the suspension.
The monies collected from jail surcharges are placed in a county jail fund.
