The 60 cents retained by the city from the State Judicial Support Fee must be used to promote the efficient operation of the municipal court and the investigation, prosecution, and enforcement of offenses that are within the jurisdiction of the court.

• A. True
• B. False — used for other purposes
• C. False — not retained by the city
• D. False — used to fund other agencies

Answer: (A)

Funds from the State Judicial Support Fee that the city retains are earmarked for the municipal court’s operations and for the investigation, prosecution, and enforcement of offenses within the court’s jurisdiction. This designation means the 60-cent portion must be used specifically to support the court and its related enforcement activities, ensuring resources go where they directly affect the court’s efficiency and its ability to handle cases locally. Because the statute requires that use, the statement is true. It wouldn’t fit if the funds were diverted to other agencies or used for purposes outside the municipal court’s jurisdiction, or if the city didn’t retain the funds at all.
