§ 1809-c. Additional surcharge required for certain violations

relating to driving while intoxicated and driving while impaired. 1.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever proceedings in a

court of this state result in a conviction pursuant to section eleven

hundred ninety-two of this chapter or subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of

paragraph (a) of subdivision two or subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of

subdivision three of section five hundred eleven of this chapter, there

shall be levied, in addition to any sentence or other surcharge required

or permitted by law, an additional surcharge of twenty-five dollars.

2. The additional surcharge provided for in subdivision one of this

section shall be paid to the clerk of the court that rendered the

conviction. Within the first ten days of the month following collection

of the surcharge the collecting authority shall determine the amount of

surcharge collected and it shall pay such money to the state comptroller

who shall deposit such money in the state treasury pursuant to section

one hundred twenty-one of the state finance law to the credit of the

general fund; provided, however, commencing April first, two thousand

twenty-four, all such moneys shall be paid to counties in such manner

and for such purposes as provided for in section eleven hundred

ninety-seven of this chapter.

3. The provisions of subdivision three of section two hundred

twenty-seven, subdivision four-a of section five hundred ten, and

subdivision three of section five hundred fourteen of this chapter

governing actions which may be taken for failure to pay a fine or

penalty shall be applicable to the additional surcharge imposed pursuant

to this section.

4. For the purposes of this section, the term conviction means and

includes the conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor for a violation of

section eleven hundred ninety-two of this chapter for which a youthful

offender finding was substituted and upon such a finding there shall be

levied an additional surcharge, in addition to any sentence or other

surcharge required or permitted by law, to the same extent and in the

same manner and amount provided by this section for conviction of the

felony or misdemeanor, as the case may be, for which such youthful

offender finding was substituted.
