[Adopted 4-11-1994 by Ord. No. O-94-13]
The Municipal Court Administrator shall assess a fee of $50,
per application, to each person for whom an application for the services
of the Municipal Public Defender is made. The fee shall be nonwaivable
by the Municipal Court Administrator unless a waiver is ordered by
the Municipal Court Judge. The assertion by the applicant/defendant
that he is unable to pay the application fee shall in no way affect
or reduce the rendering of services to him by the Municipal Public
Defender.
If the Municipal Court Administrator is unable to collect the
fee charged at the time the application for services is made, the
fee shall be collected in the manner provided in Section 1, c. 364,
P.L. 1981 (N.J.S.A. 40:6A-1) and Section 19, c. 43, of P.L. 1967 (N.J.S.A.
2A:158A-19).[1]
