The court may assess a dismissal fee of up to $20 for dismissing a charge upon proof of financial responsibility.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It may be up to $100
• D. There is a mandatory $10 fee

Answer: (B)

Dismissal of a charge when you provide proof of financial responsibility is a procedural option, but the fee isn’t universally capped at $20. The amount the court may assess for dismissal depends on the specific statute or court rule in your jurisdiction, and it can be higher, lower, or even nonexistent beyond standard court costs. That variability is why the statement claiming a maximum of $20 isn’t universally true. When studying, remember that the key idea is that a dismissal can occur with proof of financial responsibility, but the exact fee is set by local law and can differ.
