SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Court fees. Establishes fixed fees for proceedings for misdemeanors, traffic infractions and other violations in district and circuit court. The fixed fees aggregate the most common costs to be collected by clerks of court, many of which are earmarked for distribution to specific funds. The fees are collected in the case of a conviction, certain deferred dispositions without a finding of guilt, or revocation of probation or a suspended sentence. The bill was recommended by the Committee on District Courts in order to more efficiently process cases, utilize automation and minimize inconvenience to the public.
