[§291D-9]  Monetary assessments. 
(a)  A person found to have committed a traffic infraction shall be assessed a
monetary assessment not to exceed the maximum fine specified in the statute
defining the traffic infraction.



(b)  Notwithstanding section 291C-161 or any
other law to the contrary, the district court of each circuit shall prescribe a
schedule of monetary assessments for all traffic infractions, and any
additional assessments to be imposed pursuant to subsection (c).  The
particular assessment to be entered on the notice of traffic infraction
pursuant to section 291D-5 shall correspond to the schedule prescribed by the
district court.  Except after proceedings conducted pursuant to section 291D-8
or a trial conducted pursuant to section 291D-13, monetary assessments assessed
pursuant to this chapter shall not vary from the schedule prescribed by the
district court having jurisdiction over the traffic infraction.



(c)  In addition to any monetary assessment
imposed for a traffic infraction, the court may impose additional assessments
for:



(1)  Failure to pay a monetary assessment by the
scheduled date of payment; or



(2)  The cost of service of a penal summons issued
pursuant to this chapter.



(d)  The court may grant to a person claiming
inability to pay, an extension of the period in which the monetary assessment
shall be paid or may impose community service in lieu thereof.  If the
assessment is not paid or the community service is not performed on or before
the date established and the court has not extended the time, the court shall
take action as provided in section 291D-10. [L 1993, c 214, pt of §2]
