CNTY CD-FEES GENERALLY                                                     

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        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      
   catagories  of  criminal  or  civil  cases,  but  not  to exceed $15).      
   Effective December 1, 2002.
