AS FOLLOWS:

Section A. Chapter 211, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 211.342, to read as follows:

211.342. 1. In addition to all court fees and costs prescribed by law, a fee of ten dollars shall be assessed as costs in each court proceeding filed in any court within the thirtieth judicial circuit for violations of the general criminal laws of the state, including infractions, or violations of county or municipal ordinances, except that no such fee shall be collected for nonmoving traffic violations, violations of fish and game regulations or in any proceeding when the proceeding or defendant has been dismissed by the court. For violations of the general criminal laws of the state or county ordinances, no such fee shall be collected unless it is authorized by the county government where the violation occurred. For violations of municipal ordinances, no such fee shall be collected unless it is authorized by the municipal government where the violation occurred. Such fees shall be collected by the official of each respective court responsible for collecting court costs and fines and shall be transmitted monthly to the treasurer of the county where the violation occurred.

2. The counties of the thirtieth judicial circuit shall use all fees received under this section to fund a juvenile detention facility if such facility is recommended by the circuit judge of such circuit as provided in section 211.341. The county commissions of the counties within the thirtieth judicial circuit may, by order pursuant to sections 70.210 to 70.320, RSMo, contract to pay the costs of such facility. Such costs include, but are not limited to, the costs of construction and maintenance of the facility as well as the costs of providing for the subsistence and education of the children placed in such facility.
