SCS/HB 1238 - Currently, Franklin County may collect an additional ten dollar surcharge in civil cases excluding cases concerning adoption and those in small claims until December 31, 2014. The act extends this date to December 31, 2019. Currently, cities or counties with domestic violence shelters can add a surcharge of two dollars for criminal cases. This act states that a surcharge of up to four dollars may be collected for each criminal case in cities or counties with domestic violence shelters. These provisions are identical to SCS/SB 636 (2014), and substantially similar to SB 313 (2013) and provisions of HCS/HB 717 (2013). This act provides that a surcharge of up to ten dollars may be collected in all criminal proceedings filed in the Thirty-First Judicial Circuit if the surcharge was authorized by a county or municipal order, ordinance, or resolution. The moneys collected from the surcharge must be use for the costs associated with the construction, maintenance and operation of any county or municipal judicial facility. These provisions are identical to SB 915 (2014). JESSICA BAKER
