SCS/HCS/HB 410 - This act modifies various provisions relating to the Substance Abuse Traffic Offender Program. The act requires that some of the moneys deposited in the Health Initiatives Fund be used for the administration of the SATOP program. This act requires that enrollees in the SATOP program pay a supplemental fee in addition to a required fee. The amount of the supplemental fee will be determined by the department, but will not exceed $200. Under the current law, the supplemental fee is $60. Interest shall be charged on any unpaid balance on any supplemental fee. Under this act, any administrator of a SATOP program who fails to remit supplemental fees and interest on any unpaid supplemental fee balance to the Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse will be subject to a penalty or legal action by the Attorney General.

This act has an emergency clause.

This act is similar to SB 410 (2003).
