Introduced
by
To establish state minimum costs ordered in a juvenile determination of responsibility of $60 for a felony, $45 for a serious or specified misdemeanor, and $35 for any other misdemeanor or ordinance violation. The payments would be deposited into a new Justice System Fund which would replace some of the general fund money now used to pay for the judiciary. The bill also would make payment of the state minimum costs a condition of probation or supervision. It is one of many authorizing fee increases included in Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposal to close a gap between state spending and expected revenue in the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 budget. The legislative package would fix the amount of various court fees and reduce the discretion of judges to waive fees in certain cases.
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
With the substitute (H-1).
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which incorporates technical changes that do not affect the substance of the bill as previously described, and raised the fee on non-serious misdemeanors and ordinance violations to $40 instead of $35.
The substitute passed by voice vote
