Sec. 10. Violent Crime Victims Assistance Fund.
|
(a) The "Violent Crime Victims Assistance Fund" is created |
|
as a special
fund in the State Treasury to provide monies for |
the grants to be awarded
under this Act.
|
(b) On and after September 18, 1986, there shall be an |
additional penalty
collected from each defendant upon
|
conviction of any felony or upon conviction of or disposition
|
of supervision for any misdemeanor, or upon conviction of or |
disposition of
supervision for any offense under the Illinois |
Vehicle Code, exclusive of
offenses enumerated in paragraph |
(a)(2) of
Section 6-204 of that Code, and exclusive of any |
offense enumerated in Article
VI of Chapter 11 of that Code |
relating
to restrictions, regulations and limitations on the |
speed at which a motor
vehicle is driven or operated, an |
additional penalty of $4
for each $40, or fraction thereof, of |
fine imposed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this |
Section, the penalty established in this Section shall be |
assessed for any violation of Section 11-601.5, 11-605.2, or |
11-605.3 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Such additional
amounts |
shall be collected by the Clerk
of the Circuit Court in |
addition to the fine and costs in the case. Each
such |
additional penalty collected under this subsection (b) or |
subsection
(c) of this Section shall be remitted by the Clerk |
of the Circuit Court
within one month after receipt to the |
State Treasurer for deposit into the
Violent Crime Victims |
Assistance Fund, except as provided in subsection
(g) of this |
Section. Such additional penalty shall not
be considered a part |
of the fine for purposes of any reduction made in the
fine for |
|
time served either before or after sentencing. Not later than
|
March 1 of each year the Clerk of the Circuit Court shall |
submit to the
State Comptroller a report of the amount of funds |
remitted by him to the
State Treasurer under this Section |
during the preceding calendar year.
Except as otherwise |
provided by Supreme Court Rules, if a court in
sentencing an |
offender levies a gross amount for fine, costs, fees and
|
penalties, the amount of the additional penalty provided for |
herein shall
be computed on the amount remaining after |
deducting from the gross amount
levied all fees of the Circuit |
Clerk, the State's Attorney and the Sheriff.
After deducting |
from the gross amount levied the fees and additional
penalty |
provided for herein, less any other additional penalties |
provided
by law, the clerk shall remit the net balance |
remaining to the entity
authorized by law to receive the fine |
imposed in the case. For purposes of
this Section "fees of the |
Circuit Clerk" shall include, if applicable, the
fee provided |
for under Section 27.3a of the Clerks of Courts Act and the
|
fee, if applicable, payable to the county in which the |
violation occurred
pursuant to Section 5-1101 of the Counties |
Code.
|
(c) When any person is convicted in Illinois on or after |
August 28,
1986, of an offense listed below, or placed on |
supervision for such an
offense on or after September 18, 1986, |
and no other fine is imposed, the
following penalty shall be |
collected by the Circuit Court Clerk:
|
|
(1) $25, for any crime of violence as defined in |
subsection (c) of
Section 2 of the Crime Victims |
Compensation Act; and
|
(2) $20, for any other felony or misdemeanor, excluding
|
any conservation offense.
|
Such charge shall not be subject to the provisions of |
Section 110-14 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
|
(d) Monies forfeited, and proceeds from the sale of |
property forfeited
and seized, under the forfeiture provisions |
set forth in Part 500 of Article 124B of the Code of Criminal |
Procedure of 1963 shall be accepted for the Violent Crime |
Victims
Assistance Fund.
|

investment of monies
in the Violent Crime Victims Assistance |
Fund shall be credited to that fund
for uses specified in this |
Act. The Treasurer shall provide the Attorney
General a monthly |
status report on the amount of money in the Fund.
|
(f) Monies from the fund may be granted on and after July |
1, 1984.
|
(g) All amounts and charges imposed under this Section for |
any
violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois |
Vehicle Code, or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, or |

similar provision of a local ordinance,

disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under
