(c) The authority to issue an administrative citation is exclusively limited to those offenses listed in this subdivision.

 

(d) A peace officer who issues an administrative citation for the infraction of speeding under ten miles per hour over the speed limit must use the actual speed a violator's vehicle was traveling at the time of the infraction and may not reduce the recorded speed for purposes of qualifying the offense for an administrative citation. An administrative citation issued for speeding must list the actual speed the vehicle was traveling at the time of the infraction.

 

(e) A local unit of government shall notify the commissioner of public safety after it passes a resolution described in paragraph (a).

Subd. 3. Uniform citation. There must be a uniform administrative citation issued throughout the state by licensed peace officers for violations of this section. No other citation is authorized for violations of this section.

Subd. 4. Right to contest citation. (a) A peace officer who issues an administrative citation must inform the vehicle operator that the person has the right to contest the citation.

 

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), the local unit of government that employs the peace officer who issues an administrative citation must provide a civil process for a person to contest the administrative citation.

A local unit of government may employ a person to hear and rule on challenges to administrative citations or contract with another local unit of government or a private entity to provide the service.


Journal of the House - 58th Day - Monday, May 18, 2009 - Top of Page 6909

Subd. 5. Fines; disbursement. (a) A person who commits an administrative violation under subdivision 1 must pay a fine of $60.

 

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), two-thirds of a fine collected under this section must be credited to the general revenue fund of the local unit of government that employs the peace officer who issued the citation, and one-third must be transferred to the commissioner of finance to be deposited in the state general fund. A local unit of government receiving fine proceeds under this section must use at least one-half of the funds for law enforcement purposes.

Subd. 6. Surcharges on criminal and traffic offenders. (a) Except as provided in this paragraph, the court shall impose and the court administrator shall collect a $75 surcharge on every person convicted of any felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or petty misdemeanor offense, other than a violation of a law or ordinance relating to vehicle parking, for which there shall be a $4 surcharge. In the Second Judicial District, the court shall impose, and the court administrator shall collect, an additional $1 surcharge on every person convicted of any felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or petty misdemeanor offense, including a violation of a law or ordinance relating to vehicle parking, if the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners authorizes the $1 surcharge.

The surcharge shall not be imposed when a person is convicted of a petty misdemeanor for which no fine is imposed.

The chief executive officer shall forward the amount collected to the commissioner of finance.

 

(f) The surcharge does not apply to administrative citations issued pursuant to section 169.999.
