Ch. 513
2000 LAWS OF MARYLAND
WHEREAS, There is more hope today than ever before that persons whose lives
have been devastated by spinal cord injury can see their injuries reversed to some
extent; and WHEREAS, Most funding concerning spinal cord injury traditionally has been
for rehabilitation research rather than research for basic neurological tissue
regeneration with the objective of finding a cure for spinal cord injury; and WHEREAS, Research concerning neurological tissue regeneration for spinal
cord injury can be facilitated and enhanced by establishing an administrative unit at
the State level with sufficient expertise, commitment, and funding to promote this
type of research with a focus on finding a cure for spinal cord injury; and WHEREAS, Because driving at an excessive speed is a common contributor to
motor vehicle accidents, which in turn are the major cause of spinal cord injuries, it is
appropriate that individuals who are convicted of speedin
g violations bear some of the
cost of funding spinal cord injury cure research;
now, therefore, SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows: ArticleCourts and Judicial Proceedings 7-302. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) through [(e)] (F) of this section, the
clerks of the District Court shall:
(1) Collect costs, fines, forfeitures; or penalties imposed by the court; and (2) Remit them to the State under a system agreed upon by the Chief
Judge of the District Court and the Comptroller.
(b) If a parking or impounding fine, penalty, or forfeiture, or a fine, penalty, or
forfeiture relating to violation of housing, building; fire, health, or sanitation codes, or
a Mass Transit Fare Payment Statute, or a fine or penalty relating to failure to pay
the prescribed toll at a highway or vehicular creasing is collected by the Distr
ict Court
pursuant to a local ordinance, law, or regulation of a political subdivision or
municipality, or pursuant to a regulation of an agency of State government authorized
to regulate parking of motor vehicle
s, or pursuant to a statute pertaining to the
payment of mass transit fares, or pursuant to a statute pertaining to the failure to
pay tolls, it shall be remitted
to the respective local government, or to the State
agency.
(e) Every agency of State government, political subdivision or municipality
which has enacted or which shall enact an ordinance, law, or regulation controlling
the parking of motor vehicles, or providing for the impounding of motor vehicles, or
pertaining to the failure to pay tolls shall provide that fines, penalties or forfeitures
for the violation of said ordinances, laws, or regulations shall be paid directly to the
State agency, political subdivision or municipality, and not to the District Court, in
unconfested cases.
