In addition to any other penalty, assessment, or fine provided by law, there shall be levied liquidated costs in the amount of forty dollars for partial reimbursement to state government and its subdivisions for law enforcement and judicial expenses incurred in providing the personnel, training, and facilities relative to the criminal justice system and to the 911 emergency reporting system, on each conviction for the following:
