Which statement correctly describes who must collect the $2 Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund?

• A. Only cities with a juvenile case manager program must collect the $2 Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund.
• B. All municipal courts must collect the $2 Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund.
• C. No municipal court is required to collect the $2 Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund.
• D. Municipal courts in cities with a population over 850,000 must collect the $2 Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund.

Answer: (B)

A uniform funding mechanism is being tested: every municipal court is required to collect the $2 Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund. The rule specifies this fee as part of truancy proceedings and directs all municipal courts to collect it, which creates consistent funding for truancy prevention efforts across all jurisdictions. This universality is what makes it the best answer.

This collection isn’t limited to cities with a juvenile case manager program, and it isn’t based on city population or a threshold. Those kinds of exceptions would contradict the stated goal of universal funding, so statements that limit collection to certain cities or claim no court is required don’t fit the rule.
