 1        AN ACT concerning counties.

 2        Be it  enacted  by  the  People  of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The  Counties  Code  is  amended by changing
 5    Section 5-1103 as follows:

 6        (55 ILCS 5/5-1103) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1103)
 7        Sec. 5-1103.  Court services fee.   A  county  board  may
 8    enact  by  ordinance  or  resolution  a  court  services  fee
 9    dedicated  to  defraying  court security expenses incurred by
10    the sheriff in providing court  services  or  for  any  other
11    court services deemed necessary by the sheriff to provide for
12    court  security,  including without limitation court services
13    provided pursuant to Section  3-6023,  as  now  or  hereafter
14    amended.  Such fee shall be paid in civil cases by each party
15    at  the  time  of  filing  the first pleading, paper or other
16    appearance; provided that no additional fee shall be required
17    if more than one party is represented in a  single  pleading,
18    paper  or  other  appearance.   In criminal, local ordinance,
19    county ordinance, traffic and conservation  cases,  such  fee
20    shall  be  assessed  against  the  defendant  upon  a plea of
21    guilty, stipulation of facts or findings of guilty, resulting
22    in a judgment of conviction,  or  order  of  supervision,  or
23    sentence  of  probation without entry of judgment pursuant to
24    Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section  410  of  the
25    Illinois  Controlled  Substances  Act,  Section 12-4.3 of the
26    Criminal  Code  of  1961,  Section  10-102  of  the  Illinois
27    Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependency Act,  Section  40-10  of
28    the  Alcoholism  and  Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act, or
29    Section 10 of the Steroid Control Act.  In setting such  fee,
30    the  county  board  may  impose,  with the concurrence of the
31    Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in which  the  county  is

 2    differential rates for the various  types  or  categories  of
 3    criminal  and  civil  cases,  but  the maximum rate shall not
 4    exceed $25 $15. All proceeds from this fee must  be  used  to
 5    defray  court  security  expenses  incurred by the sheriff in
 6    providing  court  services.  No  fee  shall  be  imposed   or
 7    collected,  however,  in traffic, conservation, and ordinance
 8    cases in which fines are paid without a court appearance. The
 9    fees shall be collected in the  manner  in  which  all  other
10    court fees or costs are collected and shall be deposited into
11    the  county general fund for payment solely of costs incurred
12    by the sheriff in providing court security or for  any  other
13    court services deemed necessary by the sheriff to provide for
14    court security.
