The purpose of this article is to impose a local surcharge on convictions rendered in the Town Justice Court pursuant to the enabling authority of § 1809-d of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, as added by Chapter
56 of the Laws 2004.
For convictions rendered in the Town of Stanford
Justice Court for violations committed between the effective date
of this article and September 1, 2005, which convictions are subject
to a mandatory surcharge imposed pursuant to § 1809 of the
Vehicle and Traffic Law, there shall be an additional surcharge of
$10 per violation.
The surcharge authorized by subdivision one
of this section shall be paid to the clerk of the court that rendered
the conviction. Within the first ten days of the month next succeeding
the collection of such surcharge, the court shall pay the surcharge
upon application to the chief fiscal officer of the Town which imposed
such surcharge. Such chief fiscal officer shall require such proof
as is necessary in order to determine whether a refund is required
by law.
Any person who has paid a surcharge authorized
by this section which is ultimately determined not to be required
shall be entitled to a refund of such surcharge upon application to
the chief fiscal officer of the Town which imposed such surcharge.
Such chief fiscal officer shall require such proof as is necessary
in order to determine whether a refund is required by law.
