the judge or district court magistrate shall summarily tax and 24
determine the costs of the action, which are not limited to the 25
costs taxable in ordinary civil actions, and may include all 26
expenses, direct and indirect, to which the plaintiff has been put 27
in connection with the civil infraction, up to the entry of 28

assessments to be imposed for civil infractions that occur within 16
the respective district or city. If a schedule is established, it 17
must be prominently posted and readily available for public 18
inspection. A schedule need not include all violations that are 19
designated by law or ordinance as civil infractions. A schedule may 20
exclude cases on the basis of a defendant's prior record of civil 21
infractions or traffic offenses, or a combination of civil 22
infractions and traffic offenses. 23
(8) The state court administrator shall annually publish and 24
distribute to each district and court a recommended range of civil 25

over civil infractions but is intended to act as a normative guide 28
for judges and district court magistrates and a basis for public 29

evaluation of disparities in the imposition of civil fines and 1

the court may waive any civil fine, cost, or assessment against an 18
individual who received a civil infraction citation for a violation 19
of section 710d if the individual, before the appearance date on 20
the citation, supplies the court with evidence of acquisition, 21
purchase, or rental of a child seating system meeting the 22
requirements of section 710d. Beginning on the effective date of 23

paid under this section, the judge or district court magistrate 4
shall order the defendant to pay a justice system assessment of 5
$40.00 for each civil infraction determination, except for a 6
parking violation or a violation for which the total fine and costs 7
imposed are $10.00 or less. On payment of the assessment, the clerk 8
of the court shall transmit the assessment collected to the state 9
treasury to be deposited into the justice system fund created in 10
section 181 of the revised judicature act of 1961, 1961 PA 236, MCL 11
600.181. An assessment levied under this subsection is not a civil 12
fine for purposes of section 909. 13

section 223, the court shall waive any civil fine, costs, and 15
assessment on receipt of certification by a law enforcement agency 16

under section 328(2), the court may waive the fee described in 22
section 328(3)(c) and shall waive any fine, costs, and any other 23

verification by the court that the person, before the appearance 25
date on the citation, produced valid proof of insurance that was in 26
effect when the violation of section 328(1) occurred. Insurance 27
obtained after the violation occurred does not make the person 28
eligible for a waiver under this subsection. 29
