§ 12-3. Additional fee imposed for court costs for violators of state penal or criminal statute or county ordinances; collection and disposition.

(a)

There is hereby assessed by the county, in compliance with F.S. § 938.15, an additional $2.00 as court costs against every person convicted for violation of a state penal or criminal statute or convicted of a county ordinance, where such offense occurred within the county. In addition, $2.00 shall be deducted from every bond estreature or forfeited bail bond related to such penal statutes or ordinances. However, no such assessment shall be made against any person convicted for violation of any state statute or county ordinance relating to the parking of vehicles.

(b)

All such assessments shall be collected by the appropriate court and shall be remitted to the county and earmarked for criminal justice education degree programs and training courses, including basic recruit training, for their respective officers and employing agency support personnel, provided such education degree programs and training courses are approved by the employing agency administrator, on a form provided by the state, for local funding.
