Description

Under existing law, a collection fee is added to the total amount of funds due for court-ordered restitution after a matter has been transferred to the district attorney for collection purposes. Under existing law, the total amount of the collection fee is distributed to the district attorney and the circuit clerk before any other distributions to a victim or victims or any other entity are made.

This bill would provide for a pro rata distribution of the total amount collected by the district attorney, the Unified Judicial System, and the circuit clerk for court-ordered restitution and other fines and court costs including the distribution to victims of a pro rata share of any collections.
