[Adopted 2-11-1998 by Ord. No. 2058 (Ch.
127, Art. VI, of the 1990 Code); amended 11-14-2000 by Ord. No. 3165]
An application fee of not less than $50 nor
more than $200 shall be charged for the services of the Township's
Public Defender but only in the amount necessary to pay the costs
of Municipal Public Defender services and upon submission of an application
therefor on a form to be provided by the Municipal Court.
In accordance with guidelines promulgated by
the Supreme Court, the Municipal Court may waive any required application
fee, in whole or in part, only if the Court determines, in its discretion,
upon a clear and convincing showing by the applicant that the application
fee represents an unreasonable burden on the person seeking representation.
The Municipal Court may permit a person to pay the application fee
over a specific period of time not to exceed four months.
Funds collected pursuant to § 180-10 of this article shall be deposited in a dedicated fund administered by the Chief Financial Officer of the municipality. Such funds shall be used exclusively to meet the costs incurred in providing the services of a Municipal Public Defender including, when required, expert and lay investigation and testimony.
