(a) In all juvenile, traffic, criminal, and quasi-criminal cases in the juvenile, district, circuit, and municipal courts in Calhoun County, a docket fee in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25), hereinafter referred to as a drug and violent crime reduction fee, shall be assessed in each case. The fees, when collected, shall be distributed monthly as follows:
(1) In the case of municipalities, two dollars ($2) per case to the municipal court clerk's office, three dollars ($3) per case to the chief of police for use by the police department, and twenty dollars ($20) to the Calhoun/Cleburne Drug and Violent Crime Task Force.
(2) In the case of district and circuit court, two dollars ($2) per case to the circuit court clerk's office, three dollars ($3) per case to the Calhoun County Commission and twenty dollars ($20) to the Calhoun/Cleburne Drug and Violent Crime Task Force.

The drug and violent crime reduction fee shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other fees or costs. The drug and violent crime reduction fee shall not be waived or remitted unless the defendant proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the sentencing judge that the defendant is not capable of paying the fee within the reasonably foreseeable future.
(c) The drug and violent crime reduction fee may be expended, as the Board of the Calhoun/Cleburne Drug and Violent Crime Task Force sees fit, for the payment of any and all expenses incurred by the Calhoun/Cleburne Drug and Violent Crime Task Force law enforcement and in the discharge of the duties of the task force.
