The statewide Fines, Fees and Restitution Enforcement Program (FARE) has been in operation since 2003, and is now in place in almost every court in the state. This proposal is intended primarily to update the FARE code section, ACJA § 5-205 to reflect the way the program currently operates, and to give courts clarification on the administration and applicability of the FARE fees.

Re: Clarification of the “TTEAP” definition and “Purpose” section

Using the information from the previous committees, language has been modified in the definition section of “TTEAP” to provide clarity on the issuance of a waiver and reference to the statute. Section B. “Purpose” has also been changed to remove the language “increased revenues”. You may view these changes in the updated document 5-205 DRAFT Updated 10.3.22 with Suggestions from Committees.

Update 9/9/2022
Re: GJ and LJ Courts with respect to Supervised Probation Cases

Members of the GJ and LJ courts have provided insight on how probation cases are handled in terms of referral to the FARE Program. Using the information from the previous committees, language has been added in E.9 that specifies that courts may have discretion in referring active supervised probation cases to collections. You may view these changes in the updated document 5-205 DRAFT Updated 9.8.22 with Suggestions from Committees.
