HB 3346

Abstract

Amends the State Finance Act. Creates the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm Systems Fund in the State treasury for use for support in law enforcement, airborne, and terrorism operations. Amends the Clerks of Courts Act. Increases the fee that the county board may authorize the circuit clerk to collect for automated record keeping to not less than $10 (rather than $1) and not more than $15. Provides that the additional fee paid by a defendant in any felony, traffic, misdemeanor, local ordinance, or conservation case upon a judgment of guilty or grant of supervision shall be deposited into the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm Systems Fund rather than the State Police Operations Assistance Fund. Provides that $5 of the fine shall be deposited into the Circuit Court Clerk Operation and Administrative Fund created by the Clerk of the Circuit Court to be used to offset the costs incurred by the Circuit Court Clerk in performing the additional duties required to collect and disburse funds as provided by law. Provides that the remainder of each additional fine shall be remitted by the Circuit Court Clerk within one month after receipt to the State Treasurer for deposit into the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm Systems Fund in the State treasury and, pursuant to appropriation, transferred to the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm Systems Fund quarterly by the State Treasurer. Effective immediately.
