Which statement about expunction costs in municipal court is not true?

• A. The petitioner must pay thirty dollars.
• B. The fee is paid by the petitioner to the municipal court.
• C. There is no cost for expunction.
• D. The thirty-dollar fee is the amount specified.

Answer: (C)

Expunction costs are a fixed fee set for this procedure. The petitioner must pay thirty dollars to the municipal court, and that thirty-dollar amount is the specified fee. Because a fee exists, the statement that there is no cost is incorrect. The other statements align with this fee: there is a thirty-dollar charge paid to the court, and the amount is indeed thirty dollars.
