Section 13:90A-2.2 - Deposits and deductions

(a) Juvenile accounts shall be maintained in a group depository in an insured commercial bank or savings institution, and the total funds on deposit shall not exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.

(b) Interest accruing on juvenile accounts, if any, shall be transferred at least once annually to the juvenile welfare fund.

(c) All deposits, withdrawals and balances with respect to juvenile accounts shall be recorded in the Juvenile Information Management System, or successor thereto.

(d) Each calendar month, $ 15.00 of the funds in a juvenile account shall be reserved for approved expenditures by the juvenile, which shall include canteen expenditures in those facilities that have a commissary or canteen. Amounts in excess of this may be deducted by the business manager for purposes of:

1. Satisfying court ordered payments, penalty assessments, restitution and fines owed by the juvenile;

2. Meeting other revenue obligations of the juvenile; and

3. Making restitution ordered as a sanction by a disciplinary hearing officer under the provisions of 13:101-6.16(b)7, Juvenile Discipline.

(e) Monies received by a juvenile that are derived from a civil judgment obtained by or on behalf of a juvenile shall be deposited in the juvenile's account. Such monies shall be used to pay outstanding court-imposed fines, restitution or penalties.

(f) In facilities that have a commissary or canteen, pursuant to 30:4-15.1, the price of every commissary item purchase by the juvenile, except for United States postage stamps, shall include a 10 percent surcharge, which shall be deducted from the juvenile's account. Collected surcharges shall be forwarded to the State Treasurer for deposit into the Victims of Crime Compensation Office account.

(g) If a juvenile is transferred to another Commission facility, the business manager or designee of the sending facility shall provide written notification to the receiving facility and to the juvenile of any balance of restitution ordered by a disciplinary hearing officer as a sanction under 13:101-6.16(b)7, Juvenile Discipline. Restitution funds shall continue to be removed from the juvenile's account by the receiving facility and shall be forwarded to the sending facility until restitution has been made in full.
