Title

Driving under the influence, pretrial diversion programs, fee to Ala. Head and Spinal Cord Trust Fund, payment provided for, Sec. 32-5A-191 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, when a defendant is convicted of driving under the influence and a certain portion of the fine has been collected, $100 of the fine less a five percent administrative fee is deposited in the Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund. Existing law does not provide for a fee to be collected and distributed to the Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund if a person completes a pretrial diversion or deferral program when the individual was charged with driving under the influence.

This bill would provide that a mandatory fee of $100 would be collected from an individual who successfully completes a pretrial diversion or deferral program in a municipal, district, or circuit court if the individual was charged with driving under the influence.
