34-6-47. Drug court fees; fund created.

A.     In addition to any other fees collected in the district court, a district court that has established an adult drug court may assess and collect from participants a "drug court fee" of fifty dollars ($50.00) a month. Program fee requirements may be satisfied by community service at the federal minimum wage.   

B.     Drug court fees shall be deposited in the "drug court fund" of a specific judicial district in the state treasury. The judicial district shall administer money in the fund to offset client service costs of the drug court program, consistent with standards approved by the supreme court. Money in the fund shall be expended on warrants of the secretary of finance and administration upon vouchers signed by the court administrator or his authorized representative. Balances in the fund shall not revert to the general fund at the end of a fiscal year.
