SMITH,MICHAEL. 55 ILCS 5/4-5001 from Ch. 34, par. 4-5001 725 ILCS 5/110-7 from Ch. 38, par. 110-7 Amends the Counties Code. Provides for a $10 fee for sheriffs to commit any prisoner to or discharge any prisoner from jail. Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Includes the deposit of any fee for commitment to or discharge from jail as a condition before a person is released from custody subject to conditions of a bond. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Courts Administrative Office) While there would be some cost to implement HB 4976 at the county level, it is anticipated that the fiscal impact of the new arrest fee on the judicial branch would be minimal. JUDICIAL NOTE (Illinois Courts Administrative Office) HB 4976 would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes reference to: 725 ILCS 5/110-7 Adds reference to: 55 ILCS 5/Art. 4, Div. 4-1 heading 55 ILCS 5/4-1002 new 55 ILCS 5/5-1103 from Ch. 34, par. 5-1103 Deletes everything. Amends the Counties Code. Provides that a county board may by ordinance impose and collect an increase in any statutorily authorized fee when justified by an acceptable cost study showing that the current fee is not sufficient to cover the cost of providing the service. Provides that the county board must prepare a statement of the costs of providing each service and that all documents in support of the increase are subject to public audit and inspection. Provides that the provisions authorizing a county board to increase any statutorily authorized fees if justified by an acceptable cost study do not apply to any fees of the Clerk of the Circuit Court as provided in the Clerks of Courts Act. Provides for a $10 fee for sheriffs in counties of first and second class for committing each prisoner to and discharging each prisoner from jail. Provides that the court service fee shall be $25 (currently, a differential rate for different categories of criminal or civil cases, but not to exceed $15). Effective December 1, 2002. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois Courts Administrative Office) The new fees on commitment to and release from jail and the court services fee changes would have no direct fiscal impact on the judicial branch, though the change to the court services fee would impact the courts by creating additional revenues for court security measures. The authorization to increase fees based on cost studies would have a significant impact on the judicial branch, if court related fees were increased. It is not possible to estimate the dollar amount of any fiscal impact on the judicial branch, because fee changes would vary by county. JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois Courts Administrative Office) This legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.
