    AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 10. The Violent Crime Victims Assistance Act is
amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
 
    (725 ILCS 240/10)  (from Ch. 70, par. 510)
    Sec. 10. Violent Crime Victims Assistance Fund.
    (a) The "Violent Crime Victims Assistance Fund" is created
as a special fund in the State Treasury to provide monies for
the grants to be awarded under this Act.
    (b) When any person is convicted in Illinois of an offense
listed below, or placed on supervision for that offense on or
after July 1, 2012, the court shall impose the following fines:
        (1) $100 for any felony;
        (2) $50 for any offense under the Illinois Vehicle
    Code, exclusive of offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(2)
    of Section 6-204 of that Code, and exclusive of any offense
    enumerated in Article VI of Chapter 11 of that Code
    relating to restrictions, regulations, and limitations on
    the speed at which a motor vehicle is driven or operated;
    and
        (3) $75 for any misdemeanor, excluding a conservation
    offense.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
penalty established in this Section shall be assessed for any
violation of Section 11-601.5, 11-605.2, or 11-605.3 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code.
    The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall remit moneys collected
under this subsection (b) On and after September 18, 1986,
there shall be an additional penalty collected from each
defendant upon conviction of any felony or upon conviction of
or disposition of supervision for any misdemeanor, or upon
conviction of or disposition of supervision for any offense
under the Illinois Vehicle Code, exclusive of offenses
enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 6-204 of that Code,
and exclusive of any offense enumerated in Article VI of
Chapter 11 of that Code relating to restrictions, regulations
and limitations on the speed at which a motor vehicle is driven
or operated, an additional penalty of $4 for each $40, or
fraction thereof, of fine imposed. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section, the penalty established in this
Section shall be assessed for any violation of Section
11-601.5, 11-605.2, or 11-605.3 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
Such additional amounts shall be collected by the Clerk of the
Circuit Court in addition to the fine and costs in the case.
Each such additional penalty collected under this subsection
(b) or subsection (c) of this Section shall be remitted by the
Clerk of the Circuit Court within one month after receipt to
the State Treasurer for deposit into the Violent Crime Victims
Assistance Fund, except as provided in subsection (g) of this
Section. Such additional penalty shall not be considered a part
of the fine for purposes of any reduction made in the fine for
time served either before or after sentencing. Not later than
March 1 of each year the Clerk of the Circuit Court shall
submit to the State Comptroller a report of the amount of funds
remitted by him to the State Treasurer under this Section
during the preceding calendar year. Except as otherwise
provided by Supreme Court Rules, if a court in sentencing an
offender levies a gross amount for fine, costs, fees and
penalties, the amount of the additional penalty provided for
herein shall be computed on the amount remaining after
deducting from the gross amount levied all fees of the Circuit
Clerk, the State's Attorney and the Sheriff. After deducting
from the gross amount levied the fees and additional penalty
provided for herein, less any other additional penalties
provided by law, the clerk shall remit the net balance
remaining to the entity authorized by law to receive the fine
imposed in the case. For purposes of this Section "fees of the
Circuit Clerk" shall include, if applicable, the fee provided
for under Section 27.3a of the Clerks of Courts Act and the
fee, if applicable, payable to the county in which the
violation occurred pursuant to Section 5-1101 of the Counties
Code.
    (c) When any person is convicted in Illinois on or after
August 28, 1986, of an offense listed below, or placed on
supervision for such an offense on or after September 18, 1986,
and no other fine is imposed, the following penalty shall be
collected by the Circuit Court Clerk:
        (1) $25, for any crime of violence as defined in
    subsection (c) of Section 2 of the Crime Victims
    Compensation Act; and
        (2) $20, for any other felony or misdemeanor, excluding
    any conservation offense.
    The Such charge imposed by subsection (b) shall not be
subject to the provisions of Section 110-14 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure of 1963.
    (d) Monies forfeited, and proceeds from the sale of
property forfeited and seized, under the forfeiture provisions
set forth in Part 500 of Article 124B of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963 shall be accepted for the Violent Crime
Victims Assistance Fund.
    (e) Investment income which is attributable to the
investment of monies in the Violent Crime Victims Assistance
Fund shall be credited to that fund for uses specified in this
Act. The Treasurer shall provide the Attorney General a monthly
status report on the amount of money in the Fund.
    (f) Monies from the fund may be granted on and after July
1, 1984.
    (g) All amounts and charges imposed under this Section for
any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, or
