§ 28. Municipal Ticket Repayment Revolving Fund
(a) The Municipal Ticket Repayment Revolving Fund is created for the purpose of facilitating
the transfer of incorrectly deposited Judicial Bureau payments to the appropriate
municipality. A municipality may request a loan from the Municipal Ticket Repayment
Revolving Fund in the amount owed another municipality if the municipality requesting
the loan:
(1) received payments from the Judicial Bureau that were actually owed to the other municipality
for penalties collected by the Judicial Bureau for violations of an ordinance within
the other municipality; and
(2) received such payments from the Judicial Bureau between June 30, 2004 and June 30,
2007.
(b) The Court Administrator shall have the authority to approve all loans from the Municipal
Ticket Repayment Revolving Fund. To request a loan from the Fund, a municipality shall
file an application on a form approved by the Court Administrator by July 1, 2008.
The application shall contain the following information:
(1) an agreement, signed by both municipalities, defining the amount owed by one municipality
to the other; and
(2) a plan for the municipality requesting the loan to repay the Fund by July 1, 2013.
The plan may authorize the Court Administrator to withhold Judicial Bureau violation
payments to the municipality requesting the loan for deposit into the Fund.
(c) The maximum loan balance at any time shall be $250,000.00 for one municipality and
$400,000.00 for all municipalities. The Court Administrator shall administer the Municipal
Ticket Repayment Revolving Fund and shall establish procedures to allocate the available
funds fairly and equitably. Upon the recommendation of the Court Administrator, the
Secretary of Administration shall approve spending in anticipation of receipts from
the Fund up to a maximum of $220,000.00.
(d) Nothing in this section shall prohibit the sending or receiving municipality from
otherwise agreeing on, or bringing a civil action to resolve, overpayment issues prior
to June 30, 2004.
(e) Upon completion of the agreements authorized by this section, the remaining balance
in the Fund shall be deposited in the Court Technology Special Fund pursuant to section 27 of this title. (Added 2007, No. 51, § 16; amended 2007, No. 90 (Adj. Sess.), § 83, eff. March 6, 2008; 2013, No. 50, § E.204.)
