Introduced

SB 880 - Currently, there is a "Drug Court Resources Fund" that is administered by the Drug Courts Coordinating Commission to facilitate the operation of drug courts throughout the state. Under this act, the purpose of the fund is expanded to cover the operation of any DWI dockets or courts established under the drug courts.

This act creates a surcharge of $100 to be collected by the clerks of the circuit courts in all cases where the defendant pleads guilty to or is found guilty of an intoxication-related traffic offense. Such money shall be deposited into the expanded "Drug and DWI Court Resource Fund" to be used only to support the operation of DWI dockets or courts established under the drug court program.
