What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, when a municipal court finds that a person has violated an

ordinance, the municipal court judge may, in most cases, 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.
