Florida Rules of Traffic Court
|
6.470. Costs
(a) Hearing Required. In those cases in which a
hearing is held to determine whether a traffic infraction
was committed, court costs and surcharges
as authorized
by law may be assessed by the official against
the defendant in addition to the penalty imposed.
(b) No Hearing Required. When no hearing is required
or held and the defendant admits the commission
of the offense by paying the penalty or receiving a
withheld adjudication pursuant to section 318.14(9) or
(10), Florida Statutes, costs and surcharges
as provided
by law or administrative order may be imposed.
(c) Election to Attend School. If a defendant elects
to attend a driver improvement school as provided in
rule 6.330, the law enforcement education
assessments
shall be collected at the time the defendant appears before
the traffic violations bureau to make the election.
Committee Notes
1992 Amendment. The proposed amendment deletes reference
to specific costs to avoid annual revision.
