Under the electronic remittance rule, when is a city required to remit court costs electronically?

• A. If $250,000 or more in court costs and fees are remitted to the Comptroller in a state fiscal year.
• B. Only for cities that voluntarily remit electronically.
• C. In every fiscal year regardless of remittance amounts.
• D. No city is ever required to remit electronically.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is: the rule uses a specific financial threshold to trigger mandatory electronic remittance. A city must remit court costs and fees electronically to the Comptroller if the total amount remitted in a state fiscal year reaches or exceeds $250,000. That threshold is what makes electronic submission required, not just a blanket mandate for every city or every year. If the annual total is below that amount, the rule does not require electronic remittance (though some cities may still choose to do so). The other choices don’t fit because they ignore the threshold or assert a universal or voluntary-only requirement, which isn’t what the rule states.
