    Sec. 27.3a. Fees for automated record keeping and State
Police operations.
    1. The expense of establishing and maintaining automated
record keeping systems in the offices of the clerks of the
circuit court shall be borne by the county. To defray such
expense in any county having established such an automated
system or which elects to establish such a system, the county
board may require the clerk of the circuit court in their
county to charge and collect a court automation fee of not less
than $1 nor more than $15 to be charged and collected by the
clerk of the court. Such fee shall be paid at the time of
filing the first pleading, paper or other appearance filed by
each party in all civil cases or by the defendant in any
felony, traffic, misdemeanor, municipal ordinance, or
conservation case upon a judgment of guilty or grant of
supervision, provided that the record keeping system which
processes the case category for which the fee is charged is
automated or has been approved for automation by the county
board, and provided further that no additional fee shall be
required if more than one party is presented in a single
pleading, paper or other appearance. Such fee shall be
collected in the manner in which all other fees or costs are
collected.
    1.5. Starting on the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 96th General Assembly, a clerk of the circuit court in
any county that imposes a fee pursuant to subsection 1 of this
Section, shall charge and collect an additional fee in an
amount equal to the amount of the fee imposed pursuant to
subsection 1 of this Section. This additional fee shall be paid
by the defendant in any felony, traffic, misdemeanor, local
ordinance, or conservation case upon a judgment of guilty or
grant of supervision.
    2. With respect to the fee imposed under subsection 1 of
this Section, each Each clerk shall commence such charges and
collections upon receipt of written notice from the chairman of
the county board together with a certified copy of the board's
resolution, which the clerk shall file of record in his office.
    3. With respect to the fee imposed under subsection 1 of
this Section, such Such fees shall be in addition to all other
fees and charges of such clerks, and assessable as costs, and
may be waived only if the judge specifically provides for the
waiver of the court automation fee. The fees shall be remitted
monthly by such clerk to the county treasurer, to be retained
by him in a special fund designated as the court automation
fund. The fund shall be audited by the county auditor, and the
board shall make expenditure from the fund in payment of any
cost related to the automation of court records, including
hardware, software, research and development costs and
personnel related thereto, provided that the expenditure is
approved by the clerk of the court and by the chief judge of
the circuit court or his designate.
    4. With respect to the fee imposed under subsection 1 of
this Section, such Such fees shall not be charged in any matter
coming to any such clerk on change of venue, nor in any
proceeding to review the decision of any administrative
officer, agency or body.
    5. With respect to the additional fee imposed under
subsection 1.5 of this Section, the fee shall be remitted by
the circuit clerk to the State Treasurer within one month after
receipt for deposit into the State Police Operations Assistance
Fund.

fine shall be assessed by the court imposing sentence and shall
be collected by the circuit clerk. Of this fee, $5 shall be
deposited into the Circuit Court Clerk Operation and
Administrative Fund created by the Clerk of the Circuit Court
to be used to offset the costs incurred by the Circuit Court

and disburse funds as provided by law. Each such additional
fine shall be remitted by the Circuit Court Clerk within one
month after receipt to the State Police Streetgang-Related
Crime Fund in the State treasury.
