Who retains the 60 cents from the State Judicial Support Fee?

• A. The City
• B. The Court
• C. The State
• D. The Defendant

Answer: (A)

The 60-cent portion is allocated to the City to support local judicial operations. Money from the State Judicial Support Fee is distributed by statute to fund different levels of government, and this particular share is earmarked for the city’s courts, facilities, and staff. The Court itself doesn’t keep that money as its own; budgets flow through government levels, with the city receiving this portion to sustain its local judiciary. The State would use other funds for statewide needs, and the Defendant pays the fee rather than receiving it. So, the City retains the 60 cents.
