SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 358 (Petris)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of SPONSOR for SB 358 by Senator Petris which
would authorize Contra Costa to establish administrative
assessments as specified in the Municipal and Superior Courts.
BACKGROUND:
One item in the Board' s 1989 Legislative Program was to seek
legislation which would authorize Contra Costa County to impose
administrative assessments for certain specified cases. The
Municipal Court must maintain a record of convictions for Vehicle
Code violations and notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of
various violations. In addition, both the Municipal and Superior
Courts must maintain accounts receivable for criminal fines owed
to the County. Both of these are expensive processes for which
the County currently receives no reimbursement.
Senator Petris was successful in 1986 in establishing authority
for these assessments for Alameda County. We have asked Senator
Petris to include Contra Costa County in these assessments and he
has agreed. SB 358 has been introduced for this purpose. The
assessment for maintaining a record of Vehicle Code violations
and notifying DMV could not exceed $10. The assessment for the
accounts receivable could not exceed $30 .
Since SB 358 has been introduced as a part of the Board' s 1989
Legislative Program, it is recommended that the Board of
Supervisors support SB 358 and indicate that it is sponsoring the
measure.
