DATE: May 13, 1992
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 2409 (Isenberg)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Agree to serve as a CO-SPONSOR of AB 2409 by Assemblyman Isenberg,
if the bill is amended to add authority for the Board of
Supervisors to increase the administrative fee charged by the
Office of Revenue Collection for processing an account for a fine
which is set up on an installment basis .
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, the Office of Revenue Collection is authorized
to charge a fee which represents their actual costs for processing
installment accounts where the Court allows a defendant to pay a
fine over a period of some months. Under current law, however,
this fee is capped at $30 per account. The Office of Revenue
Collection has calculated their actual costs for processing these
accounts . A minimal estimate of this cost is in excess of $35 per
account. In fact, it has been estimated that the full cost of
these- accounts may be closer to $100, when all possible costs are
included.
We have asked that the maximum fee be increased to $35 and
Assemblyman Isenberg has apparently agreed to place such an
increase in his AB 2409, which is serving as a "clean-up" bill for
his Trial Court Reform Act of 1991.
We are, therefore, recommending that the Board of Supervisors agree
to serve as a co-sponsor of AB 2409, if the requested increase in
the administrative fee for installment accounts is amended into AB
2409 .
