(a) The court costs to be assessed under this chapter are to be in addition to the fine and according to the following schedule:

(1) Costs of the court in accordance with the Missouri Municipal Division Court Operating Rule 21.01.

(2) In all cases except those for nonmoving traffic violations, costs for the training of police officers in the amount of $2.00.

(3) Other costs, such as for the issuance of a warrant, a commitment or a summons, as provided before the associate circuit judge in criminal prosecutions.

(4) Actual costs assessed against the city by the county sheriff for apprehension or confinement in the county jail.

(5) Mileage, in the same amount as provided to the sheriff in criminal violations, for each mile and fraction thereof the officer must travel (both directions) in order to serve any warrant or commitment or order of the court.

(b) An additional court cost in the amount of $1.00 is hereby imposed upon every municipal court case (except parking violations and other nonmoving traffic offenses) to fund the "Missouri Police Officers Standards and Training Commission Fund" as created under the statutes of the state. The municipal court clerk shall collect such funds for any court case that is resolved and remit the $1.00 court costs to the finance officer, and the finance officer will remit the money to the state.

(c) Missouri statewide court automation program surcharge. In addition to any costs which may be assessed by the municipal division pursuant to statute, ordinance or court rule, in every proceeding filed in the municipal division for violation of an ordinance a surcharge of $7.00 shall be assessed. Such surcharge shall also be assessed in cases in which pleas of guilty are processed in the traffic violations bureau or general violations bureau. No such surcharge shall be collected when the proceeding or defendant has been dismissed by the court, when costs are waived, or when costs are to be paid to the city. Such surcharge shall be collected by the court administrator and transmitted monthly to the chief financial officer. Funds collected under this subsection shall be used by the city only to pay to the Missouri director of revenue to the credit of the Missouri statewide court automation fund as provided by RSMo 488.012.3(5) and 488.027.2.
