| ||||||
| 12 | Such additional amounts shall be assessed by the court | ||||||

| 14 | in addition to the
fine and costs in the case. Each such | ||||||
| 15 | additional penalty shall be
remitted by the Circuit Clerk | ||||||
| 16 | within one month after receipt to the State
Treasurer. The | ||||||
| 17 | State Treasurer shall deposit $1 for each $40, or fraction
| ||||||

| 23 | fine, costs or additional amounts are subject to
disbursement | ||||||
| 24 | by the circuit clerk under Section 27.5 of the Clerks of
Courts | ||||||
| 25 | Act. Such additional penalty shall not be considered a part of | ||||||
| 26 | the fine
for purposes of any reduction in the fine for time | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | served either before or
after sentencing.
Not later than March | ||||||
| 2 | 1 of each year the Circuit Clerk
shall submit a report of the | ||||||
| 3 | amount of funds remitted to the State
Treasurer under this | ||||||
| 4 | subsection (c) during the preceding calendar year.
Except as | ||||||
| 5 | otherwise provided by Supreme Court Rules, if a court in | ||||||
| 6 | imposing
a fine against an offender levies a gross
amount for | ||||||
| 7 | fine, costs, fees and penalties, the amount of the additional
| ||||||
| 8 | penalty provided for herein shall be computed on the amount | ||||||
| 9 | remaining after
deducting from the gross amount levied all fees | ||||||
| 10 | of the Circuit Clerk, the
State's Attorney and the Sheriff. | ||||||
| 11 | After deducting from the gross amount
levied the fees and | ||||||
| 12 | additional penalty provided for herein, less any other
| ||||||
| 13 | additional penalties provided by law, the clerk shall remit the | ||||||
| 14 | net balance
remaining to the entity authorized by law to | ||||||
| 15 | receive the fine imposed in
the case. For purposes of this | ||||||
| 16 | Section "fees of the Circuit Clerk" shall
include, if | ||||||
| 17 | applicable, the fee provided for under Section 27.3a of the
| ||||||
| 18 | Clerks of Courts Act and the fee, if applicable, payable to the | ||||||
| 19 | county in
which the violation occurred pursuant to Section | ||||||
| 20 | 5-1101 of the Counties Code.
| ||||||
| 21 | (c-5) In addition to the fines imposed by subsection (c), | ||||||
| 22 | any person
convicted or receiving an order of supervision for | ||||||
| 23 | driving under the influence
of alcohol or drugs shall pay an | ||||||
| 24 | additional $100 fee to the clerk.
This
additional fee, less 2 | ||||||
| 25 | 1/2% that shall be
used to defray administrative costs incurred | ||||||
| 26 | by the clerk, shall be remitted by
the clerk to the Treasurer | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | within 60 days after receipt for deposit into the
Trauma Center | ||||||
| 2 | Fund. This additional fee of $100 shall not be
considered a | ||||||
| 3 | part of
the
fine for purposes of any reduction in the fine for | ||||||
| 4 | time served either before or
after sentencing.
Not later than | ||||||
| 5 | March 1 of each year the Circuit Clerk
shall submit a report of | ||||||
| 6 | the amount of funds remitted to the State
Treasurer under this | ||||||
| 7 | subsection (c-5) during the preceding calendar year.
| ||||||
| 8 | The Circuit Clerk may accept payment of fines and costs by | ||||||
| 9 | credit card
from an offender who has been convicted of a | ||||||
| 10 | traffic offense, petty offense
or misdemeanor and may charge | ||||||
| 11 | the service fee permitted where fines and
costs are paid by | ||||||
| 12 | credit card provided for in Section 27.3b of the Clerks
of | ||||||
| 13 | Courts Act.
| ||||||
| 14 | (c-7) In addition to the fines imposed by subsection (c), | ||||||
| 15 | any person
convicted or receiving an order of supervision for | ||||||
| 16 | driving under the influence
of alcohol or drugs shall pay an | ||||||
| 17 | additional $5 fee to the clerk. This
additional fee, less 2 | ||||||
| 18 | 1/2% that shall be
used to defray administrative costs incurred | ||||||
| 19 | by the clerk, shall be remitted by
the clerk to the Treasurer | ||||||
| 20 | within 60 days after receipt for deposit into the
Spinal Cord | ||||||
| 21 | Injury Paralysis Cure Research Trust Fund. This additional fee | ||||||
| 22 | of
$5 shall not be
considered a part of
the
fine for purposes | ||||||
| 23 | of any reduction in the fine for time served either before or
| ||||||
| 24 | after sentencing.
Not later than March 1 of each year the | ||||||
| 25 | Circuit Clerk
shall submit a report of the amount of funds | ||||||
| 26 | remitted to the State
Treasurer under this subsection (c-7) | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
| 2 | (c-9) (Blank).
| ||||||
| 3 | (d) In determining the amount and method of payment of a | ||||||
| 4 | fine, except
for those fines established for violations of | ||||||
| 5 | Chapter 15 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, the court shall | ||||||
| 6 | consider:
| ||||||
| 7 | (1) the financial resources and future ability of the | ||||||
| 8 | offender to pay
the fine; and
| ||||||
| 9 | (2) whether the fine will prevent the offender from | ||||||
| 10 | making court ordered
restitution or reparation to the | ||||||
| 11 | victim of the offense; and
| ||||||
| 12 | (3) in a case where the accused is a dissolved | ||||||
| 13 | corporation and the
court has appointed counsel to | ||||||
| 14 | represent the corporation, the costs
incurred either by the | ||||||
| 15 | county or the State for such representation.
| ||||||
| 16 | (e) The court may order the fine to be paid forthwith or | ||||||
| 17 | within a
specified period of time or in installments.
| ||||||
| 18 | (f) All fines, costs and additional amounts imposed under | ||||||
| 19 | this Section
for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of | ||||||
| 20 | the Illinois Vehicle Code,
or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
| 21 | ordinance, and any violation of the Child
Passenger Protection | ||||||
| 22 | Act, or a similar provision of a local ordinance,
shall be | ||||||
| 23 | collected and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under
| ||||||
| 24 | Section 27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
