AN ACT
To repeal section 302.137, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the motorcycle safety trust fund.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 302.137, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 302.137, to read as follows:
302.137. 1. There is hereby created in the state treasury for use by the department of public safety a fund to be known as the "Motorcycle Safety Trust Fund". All judgments collected pursuant to this section, appropriations of the general assembly, federal grants, private donations and any other moneys designated for the motorcycle safety education program established pursuant to sections 302.133 to 302.138 shall be deposited in the fund. Moneys deposited in the fund shall, upon appropriation by the general assembly to the department of public safety, be received and expended by the department of public safety for the purpose of funding the motorcycle safety education program established under sections 302.133 to 302.138. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary, any unexpended balance in the motorcycle safety trust fund at the end of any biennium shall not be transferred to the general revenue fund.
2. In all criminal cases, including violations of any county ordinance or any violation of criminal or traffic laws of this state, any county, or any municipality, including an infraction, there shall be assessed as costs a surcharge in the amount of one dollar. Such surcharge shall not be waived in any proceeding, except that no such surcharge shall be collected in any proceeding involving a violation of an ordinance or state law when the proceeding or defendant has been dismissed by the court or when costs are to be paid by the state, county or municipality. 3. Such surcharge shall be collected and distributed by the clerk of the court as provided in sections 488.010 to 488.020. The surcharge collected pursuant to this section shall be paid to the state treasury to the credit of the motorcycle safety trust fund established in this section.
