TO. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Contra
FROM: Contra Costa County Municipal Courts
Costa
DATE: October 17, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Establish Fee for Processing Drivers' License Restrictions
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Fix November 14, 1995 at 10 a.m. for a public hearing on the proposed establishment of an
administrative fee, as authorized by Section 40508.6 of the California Vehicle Code, to
cover the cost incurred by the courts when a driver's license is attached or restricted.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that revenues for the 1995/96 fiscal year will increase by $20,000. . .
and that subsequent annual revenue from collection of this fee will be $80,000.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
California Vehicle Code Section 40508.6(b) provides that the Municipal Courts, with Board
of Supervisors' approval, may establish an administrative assessment/fee, not to exceed
$10, for clerical and administrative costs incurred for the attachment or restriction of a
defendant's driver's license.
The Municipal Courts have determined that administrative and clerical costs exceed $10,
and request that the fee be set at the maximum amount authorized under the law.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The revenue generated by assessing an administrative fee for placing a restriction or
attachment on a defendant's driver's licence will not be realized. The costs currently
incurred by the court, however, will continue.
