RULE 6.470. COSTS

(a) Hearing Required. In those cases in which a hearing is
held to determine whether a traffic infraction was committed, court
costs and surcharges as authorized by law may be assessed by the
official against the defendant in addition to the penalty imposed.

(b) No Hearing Required. When no hearing is required or
held and the defendant admits the commission of the offense by
paying the penalty or receiving a withheld adjudication pursuant to
section 318.14(9) or (10), Florida Statutes, costs and surcharges as
provided by law or administrative order may be imposed.

(c) Election to Attend School. If a defendant elects to
attend a driver improvement school as provided in rule 6.330, the
law enforcement education assessments shall be collected at the
time the defendant appears before the traffic violations bureau to
make the election.

Committee Notes

specific costs to avoid annual revision.
