Cities and counties would continue to retain a 10 percent administrative fee for collection and remit 90 percent to the Comptroller for deposit in the Center for the Study and Prevention of Juvenile Crime and Delinquency Account. The bill would take effect September 1, 2001 and apply to conviction of offenses committed on or after that date. Methodology Estimates of the increased revenues from the proposed court cost increase were based on data from the 2002-03 Biennial Revenue Estimate, adjusted for offenses committed and adjudicated after the effective date and deducting the 10 percent administration fee that would be retained by local governments. Local Government Impact There would be an approximate revenue increase to local governments of approximately $116,000 for state fiscal year 2002 and $170,000 for state fiscal year 2003, which represent increased revenue from a 10 percent administrative fee collected by counties. The estimated revenue increase would be offset by any costs incurred by cities and counties for making changes locally to administer the increase.
