2005 California Government Code Sections 76000 Article 1. Penalties

GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 76000

76000.  (a) In each county there shall be levied an additional
penalty of seven dollars ($7) for every ten dollars ($10) or fraction
thereof which shall be collected together with and in the same
manner as the amounts established by Section 1464 of the Penal Code,
upon every fine, penalty, or forfeiture imposed and collected by the
courts for criminal offenses, including all offenses involving a
violation of the Vehicle Code or any local ordinance adopted pursuant
to the Vehicle Code, except parking offenses subject to Article 3
(commencing with Section 40200) of Chapter 1 of Division 17 of the
Vehicle Code.  These moneys shall be taken from fines and forfeitures
deposited with the county treasurer prior to any division pursuant
to Section 1463 of the Penal Code.
   The county treasurer shall deposit those amounts specified by the
board of supervisors by resolution in one or more of the funds
established pursuant to this chapter.  However, deposits to these
funds shall continue through whatever period of time is necessary to
repay any borrowings made by the county on or before January 1, 1991,
to pay for construction provided for in this chapter.
   (b) In each authorized county, provided that the board of
supervisors has adopted a resolution stating that the implementation
of this subdivision is necessary to the county for the purposes
authorized, with respect to each authorized fund established pursuant
to Section 76100 or 76101, for every parking offense where a parking
penalty, fine, or forfeiture is imposed, an added penalty of two
dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) shall be included in the total
penalty, fine, or forfeiture.  Except as provided in subdivision (c),
for each parking case collected in the courts of the county, the
county treasurer shall place in each authorized fund two dollars and
fifty cents ($2.50).  These moneys shall be taken from fines and
forfeitures deposited with the county treasurer prior to any division
pursuant to Section 1462.3 or 1463.009 of the Penal Code.  The
judges of the county shall increase the bail schedule amounts as
appropriate to reflect the added penalty provided for by this
section.  In those cities, districts, or other issuing agencies which
elect to accept parking penalties, and otherwise process parking
violations pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 40200) of
Chapter 1 of Division 17 of the Vehicle Code, that city, district, or
issuing agency shall observe the increased bail amounts as
established by the court reflecting the added penalty provided for by
this section.  Each agency which elects to process parking
violations shall pay to the county treasurer two dollars and fifty
cents ($2.50) for each fund for each parking penalty collected on
each violation which is not filed in court.  Those payments to the
county treasurer shall be made monthly, and the county treasurer
shall deposit all those sums in the authorized fund.  No issuing
agency shall be required to contribute revenues to any fund in excess
of those revenues generated from the surcharges established in the
resolution adopted pursuant to this chapter, except as otherwise
agreed upon by the local governmental entities involved.
   (c) The county treasurer shall deposit one dollar ($1) of every
two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) collected pursuant to subdivision
(b) into the general fund of the county.
   (d) The authority to impose the two-dollar-and-fifty-cent ($2.50)
penalty authorized by subdivision (b) shall be reduced to one dollar
($1.00) as of the date of transfer of responsibility for facilities
from the county to the Judicial Council pursuant to Article 3
(commencing with Section 70321) of Chapter 5.1, except as money is
needed to pay for construction provided for in Section 76100 and
undertaken prior to the transfer of responsibility for facilities
from the county to the Judicial Council.
   (e) The seven-dollar ($7) additional penalty authorized by
subdivision (a) shall be reduced in each county by the additional
penalty amount assessed by the county for the local courthouse
construction fund established by Section 76100 as of January 1, 1998,
when the money in that fund is transferred to the state under
Section 70402.  The amount each county shall charge as an additional
penalty under this section shall be as follows:
