Commencing on the first day of December 1995, the Municipal Judge or hearing officer of the court shall assess a defendant a default fee of $35 for each default judgment entered in a civil traffic violation case upon a failure of such defendant to appear or upon such defendant’s failure to pay a civil sanction, unless such default judgment is set aside under Rules of Procedure in Civil Traffic Violation Cases, Rule 28. The Municipal Judge or hearing officer may waive all or any part of the fee if the payment of the fee would cause undue hardship to the defendant. (Prior Code, § 6-3-3) (Am. Ord. 99-641, passed 2-8-1999; Am. Ord. 18-1386, passed 5-14-2018)
