Fiscal Summary OTHER FISCAL IMPACT The extent and timing of any impacts on state and local revenue cannot be determined with reasonable certainty. Bill Summary Upon approval by a two-thirds vote of the county legislative body, present law requires the clerk of every court having jurisdiction of state misdemeanors and felonies to include in every misdemeanor and felony cost bill, a charge of $12.50 that must be remitted to the county government, except in counties that are part of a multiple county judicial district, in which case such charge must be remitted to the office of the executive director of the district attorneys general conference for the purpose of providing supplemental funding for the office of the district attorney general within that judicial district. FRAUD AND ECONOMIC CRIMES PROSECUTION ACT The Fraud and Economic Crimes Prosecution Act authorizes a victim, before the commencement of criminal prosecution in a bad check case, to apply to the clerk in the county where the alleged offense occurred for participation in the bad check restitution program, which, upon application along with a $10 fee and any application fee, requires the clerk to forward the form to the district attorney general who will then send a letter to the last known address of the alleged violator stating that unless the amount of the check plus the $10.00 handling fee, and any additional application fees, are paid to the holder of the check within 15 days, criminal prosecution will commence. The Act requires judges presiding over criminal prosecutions to order that the fees are to be paid by the person or corporations against whom the costs are taxed, and the clerk of the court is required to collect those fees when the costs are paid. These fees include prosecutions for: Worthless checks depending on the face amount of the check
