• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 37: COURT FEES
• Ch. 6: Credit Card Service Fee

Text

(a) A payment made under this chapter does
not finally discharge the person's liability, and the person has not paid
the liability until the clerk receives payment or credit from the
institution responsible for making the payment or credit.
(b) The clerk may contract with a bank or credit card vendor for
acceptance of bank or credit cards. Subject to subsection (d), if there
is a vendor transaction charge or discount fee, whether billed to the
clerk or charged directly to the clerk's account, the clerk shall collect
a fee from the person using the bank card or credit card. The fee
collected under this section is a permitted additional charge to the
money the clerk is required to collect under section 1(1) of this chapter.
(c) Subject to subsection (d), the clerk may contract with a payment
processing company, which may collect a transaction fee from the
person using the bank card or credit card. The fee collected under this
section is a permitted additional charge to the money the clerk is
required to collect under section 1(1) of this chapter.
(d) The clerk shall collect and deposit in the appropriate fund an
amount not less than the amount the clerk would collect and deposit if
the clerk received payment by a means other than a bank card or credit
card.
