proposed increase in the Drug Diversion Fee, as prescribed by

for diversion; and the actual cost of criminalistics laboratory

Assembly Bill 1165, Statutes of 1993, increases the maximum
amounts that can be charged for the drug diversion administrative
fee. This bill authorizes a fee to be established to cover the
actual cost of supervising the divertee and the actual costs of
any criminalistics laboratory analysis, not to exceed $500 . A
drug diversion fee of $235 will cover the administrative and
criminalistics laboratory analysis costs .
Penal Code Section 1203 . 1 provides that the Board of
Supervisors may add a fee to cover the actual administrative
cost of collecting restitution but not to exceed ten percent
( 10%) of the total amount order to be paid. The actual costs of
collecting and distributing restitution has been determined to
exceed ten percent ( 10%) .
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The revenues assessed to offset the actual cost of
administering the Drug Diversion Program and the cost of
collecting restitution for victims will not be realized.
