12-4116. Judicial branch education fund; assessments against municipal
cases.
In each case filed in municipal court where there is a finding of guilty or
a plea of guilty, a plea of no contest, forfeiture of bond, or a diversion,
a sum in an amount not to exceed $1 shall be assessed for the training,
testing and continuing judicial education of municipal judges as provided
in K.S.A. 12-4114, and amendments thereto. Except as provided herein,
the judge or clerk of the municipal court shall remit
all
assessments received pursuant to this section to the state treasurer in
accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and
amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer
shall deposit the entire amount in the
state treasury to the credit of the judicial branch education
fund. If the amount of assessments collected in a month are less than $250, the
municipal court may delay
remitting its assessments until a month in which the cumulative amount of
assessments collected equals or exceeds $250. If the cumulative amount of
assessments collected never equals or exceeds $250 for the year, the amount of
assessments collected and on hand on December 31 of the year shall be remitted
to the state treasurer.
The specific amount of the assessment shall be fixed by
order of the supreme court and shall apply uniformly to all cities. For the
purpose of determining the amount to be assessed according to this section,
if more than one complaint is filed against one individual arising out of
the same incident, all such complaints shall be considered as one case. For
the purpose of this section, parking violations shall not be considered as
cases.
