This legislation allows the board of commissioners to adopt a resolution to impose an additional $5.00 to be put on any fine for a motor vehicle offense when the fine includes costs.

The legislation includes a private right of action for any voter to file an injunction against the superior court clerk to ensure that the fee is being collected and an injunction against the board of commissioners to ensure that the Electronic Citation Fund is properly used.
