This bill authorizes the Municipal Court of the City of Berlin to charge and collect a technology fee, not to exceed $10.00, on each criminal and quasi-criminal fine paid to the court. These fees are specifically designated for the court's technological needs, including the purchase, lease, maintenance, and installation of computer hardware and software, as well as imaging, scanning, facsimile, communications, projection, and printing equipment and software. The collected funds must be kept in a separate account and are subject to audit.
