Criminal fines and assessment program
What is the criminal fines and assessment (CFAA) program?
The CFAA program reimburses the state for costs associated with statewide law enforcement and victim services. The program receives receipts each month from:
  • Municipal courts [paid directly to the Department of Revenue (DOR)].
  • Justice courts (paid directly to DOR).
  • Circuit courts [paid directly to the Judicial Department (OJD)].
 
Both DOR and OJD place money in the CFAA account so DOR can do a single quarterly distribution.
Who receives money from the CFAA distribution?
Several agencies (see list) receive money based on statutory distribution percentages. For fiscal year 2004-05, the total distributed to all agencies was more than $56.6 million.
Please note that this program works with the administrative personnel from participating courts and is not involved with the actual billing or collection of court-related debts. If you have received a notice or billing from DOR concerning an outstanding court debt, see the Other Agency Accounts webpage for information.
