Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Fines and Fees
Defendant pled guilty to predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. Court did not impose any fines or fees, but Clerk imposed various fines and fees, including PD fee. Such fee was wrongly imposed, as notice that trial court is considering imposing payment, and hearing, are required before assessing a PD fee. Pretrial bond supervision should not have been assessed, as Defendant never posted bond. Clerk has no power to levy even mandatory fines not authorized by the court, as imposition of any fine is a judicial act. (BOWMAN and HUDSON, concurring.)
