Bill > SB1103

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 12-116.09 to increase the penalty assessment from $2 to $4 on fines, penalties, and forfeitures collected by courts for various offenses, including criminal offenses, civil traffic violations, motor vehicle statute violations, local vehicle-related ordinance violations, and game and fish statute violations. The bill maintains the existing process where courts transmit these assessments to local treasurers (city, town, or county), who then forward them to the state treasurer. The collected funds will continue to be deposited into the victims' rights enforcement fund, which supports programs and services for crime victims. By doubling the assessment amount, the bill aims to provide additional financial resources for victims' rights enforcement and support services.
