SB264 Summary

• Imposes a mandatory $100 fee on individuals who successfully complete pretrial diversion or deferral programs for driving under the influence charges in municipal, district, or circuit courts.

• The $100 fee collected from pretrial diversion/deferral program completion is deposited into the Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund.

• Addresses a gap in existing law that previously only required fee deposits when defendants were convicted of DUI offenses, not when they completed alternative diversion programs.

• Takes effect on the first day of the third month following passage and gubernatorial approval.
