§ 36.05. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL; ADMISSION OF VIOLATION.  


Latest version.
  • (A) A person charged with an ordinance violation is entitled to a trial before the City Court as provided by law, unless the person waives the right to trial and enters an admission of the violation with the Violations Clerk. Upon an admission, the Violations Clerk shall assess and receive from the violator the amount prescribed by the schedule of civil penalties established under PMC § 36.02.
    (B) An ordinance violation admitted under this Section does not constitute a judgment for the purposes of IC 33-37. Therefore, an ordinance violations costs fee may not be collected from the defendant under IC 33-37-4.
    (C) An ordinance violation processed under this section may not be considered for the purposes of IC 33-37-7-6 when determining the percentage of ordinance violations prosecuted in certain courts.
