| 15 | | first pleading, paper or other appearance;
provided that no |
| 16 | | additional fee shall be required if more than one party is

| 17 | | represented in a single pleading, paper or other appearance. In |
| 18 | | criminal,
local ordinance, county ordinance, traffic and |
| 19 | | conservation cases, such fee
shall be assessed against the |
| 20 | | defendant upon a plea of guilty, stipulation of
facts or |
| 21 | | findings of guilty, resulting in a judgment of conviction, or |
| 22 | | order of

|
|
| 1 | | Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled

| 8 | | setting such fee, the county board may impose,

| 9 | | concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in which |
| 10 | | the county
is located by administrative order entered by the |
| 11 | | Chief Judge,
differential

maximum rate |
| 13 | | shall not exceed $25, unless the fee is set according to an |
| 14 | | acceptable cost study in accordance with Section 4-5001 of the |
| 15 | | Counties Code.
All proceeds from this fee must be used to |
| 16 | | defray court security expenses
incurred by the sheriff in |
| 17 | | providing court services.
No fee shall be imposed or collected,
|
| 18 | | however, in traffic, conservation, and ordinance cases in which |
| 19 | | fines are paid
without a court appearance. The fees shall be |
| 20 | | collected in the manner in which
all other court fees or costs |
| 21 | | are collected and shall be deposited into the
county general |
| 22 | | fund for payment solely of costs incurred by the sheriff in
|
| 23 | | providing court security or for any other court services deemed |
| 24 | | necessary by
the sheriff to provide for court security.
