SLR 4-17.905: ASSESSMENT OF FINE

On a finding of guilty for a parking violation, after consideration of a mail plea, after trial or by default, a judicial officer may assess a fine in any amount permitted by the legal authority under which the parking citation was issued. Alternatively, the judicial officer may impose no fine and enter a sentence of discharge, except as prohibited by statute. In the event the judicial officer imposes fine in excess of the amount indicated on the parking citation, the court shall schedule a hearing upon request of recipient, to permit the recipient to show cause, if any, why the excess fine should not be imposed.
