body
Summary
Summary
The Judicial Council Finance staff recommend that council approve the attached Intercounty Probation Case Transfer Statewide Fiscal Procedures, which outline a uniform process and establish responsibility for the proper collection, accounting, and distribution of any and all court-ordered payments made by the defendant to the transferring or receiving court, or its authorized collection program, pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.9. The sample agreement satisfies the statutory requirement for a written agreement that allows a receiving court to charge administrative fees for collecting payments from a defendant on behalf of the transferring court.
