§ 218-2. Court costs for police testing and certification.

(a)

There is hereby created the Brevard police testing and certification account within the auxiliary fund at Brevard Community College, which account within the auxiliary fund shall be used exclusively for the operation and administration of the center. Moneys deposited into the account within the auxiliary fund shall consist of the following:

(1)

A sum of $3.00 which shall be assessed as a court cost by both the circuit court and the county court in Brevard County against every person who is convicted or who has had adjudication withheld for a violation of a state criminal statute or a municipal or county ordinance or who pays a fine or civil penalty for any violation of F.S. ch. 316. The said cost of $3.00 shall be assessed in addition to any fine, civil penalty, or other court cost and shall not be deducted from the proceeds of that portion of any fine or civil penalty which is received by a municipality in Brevard County or by Brevard County in accordance with the provisions of F.S. §§ 316.660 and 318.21. The $3.00 cost shall specifically be added to any civil penalty paid for a violation of F.S. ch. 316, whether such penalty is paid by mail, paid in person without request for a hearing, or paid after hearing and determination by the county court. However, no such assessment shall be made against a person for a violation of any state statute, county ordinance, or municipal ordinance relating to the parking of vehicles. The clerk of the court of Brevard County shall collect the respective $3.00 court costs established in this paragraph and shall remit the same to the center on a monthly basis.
