In both instances the $160 and $10 Clerk Filing was established by the Illinois Clerk of the Court Act (705 ILCS 105/27.1a) and Champaign County Board Resolution 4725. TRAFFIC and CRIMINAL DIVISIONS: Criminal Convictions and Supervisions In recent history, the Illinois Legislature has shown an increasing tendency to create certain fees and assessments that are automatically triggered upon a conviction or order of supervision of a particular offense. There is also a surcharge that uses a sliding scale that imposes a surcharge on any fine ordered (which is a minimum of 20%). There is an automatic bond fee of 10% any time a bond is posted. These factors make it impossible to give a specific dollar figure for fees or costs in a criminal case without knowing the specific statute for conviction. The following is offered as a guideline for the minimum costs. Conviction: Minimum Court Costs: Felony $305 Misdemeanor (Class A) $215 Misdemeanor (Class B) $200 Ordinance Violation $110 Conservation (Must Appear) $ 75 Conservation (May Appear) $ 65 To the above could be added a fine, a sur-charge on the fine, a bond fee, any assessment relating to the particular offense, public defender fees, probation monitoring fees and/or restitution.
Traffic Convictions and Supervisions: An Illinois Traffic Citation will be marked as either a Must Appear or May Appear (court appearance), depending on the seriousness of the violation. The following guidelines are if a defendant goes to court and is convicted or receives supervision. The potential additional costs referred to above also apply here. Conviction: Minimum Court Costs: May Appear violation $65 Must Appear violation $70 DUI $295 Expungement Petition: The actual fees may vary depending on whether an arrest is made and how many police agencies were involved, but the typical Petition to Expunge requires a fee to accompany the petition as follows: Arresting Agency: Non-Sheriff: Sheriff: Filing fee $ 60 $60 Clerk Op & Admin $10 $10 Certified copy ($4 per copy, 5 copies required) $ 20 $16 Certified mailing ($15 per mailing, 5 required $ 75 $60 Regular mail ($2 per copy, 5 required) $ 10 $ 8 State Police (if required) $ 60 $60 TOTAL $235 $214 Circuit Court Marriages & Civil Unions $10 Coroner Copy of Inquest Transcript $5.00/page Copy of Coroner's Jury Verdict $5.00 Copy of Autopsy Report $50.00 Copy of Toxicology Report $25.00 Copy of Miscellaneous Report $25.00 Copy of Photographs (restricted) $3.00/each Cremation Authorization Permit $50.00/each Charged to Other counties for Use of Autopsy Facility $235.00/autopsy
