Court Building Security & Technology Fund

This special revenue fund was established May 2025 in accordance with H.B. No. 1950, which states a person
convicted of a nonjailable misdemeanor offense, including a criminal violation of a municipal ordinance, shall
pay $14 as a court cost, in addition to all other costs, on conviction. This $14 court cost is allocated into
separate funds, including 35 percent (or $4.90) and 28.5714 percent (or $4.00) to the consolidated Municipal
Court Building Security and Technology fund.

The consolidated Municipal Court Building Security and Technology Fund is designed to provide protection to
the Municipal Court Judge, Municipal Court Prosecutor, Court personnel, complainants, and defendants and to
provide funding for the purchase of technological enhancements for the Municipal Court, including computer
systems, computer networks, computer hardware and software, imaging systems, replacement computers,
printers, and other equipment currently in use in the Municipal Court or docket management systems.

The Municipal Court Building Security and Technology Fund is utilized to cover a portion of the cost of one
Warrant Officer/Bailiff who is assigned to the Municipal Court to monitor the security of the Bedford Municipal
Court by utilizing the passthrough metal detector during court sessions. The fund is also utilized to pay for the
maintenance, technical support, and online payment access for the Municipal Court Record System software,
and the maintenance, technical support, supplies, and repairs for ticket writers.
