F.1. If a defendant is delinquent in the payment of financial obligations or an installment by more than sixty (60) days, the court clerk shall notify the court which shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, set a cost hearing for the court to determine if the defendant is able to pay. The hearing shall be set on a date that will allow the court clerk to issue a summons fourteen (14) days prior to the cost hearing.2. No less than fourteen (14) days prior to the cost hearing, the court clerk shall issue one summons to the defendant to be served by United States mail to the mailing address of the defendant on file in the case, substantially as follows:SUMMONS
You are ORDERED to appear for a cost hearing at a specified time, place, and date to determine if you are financially able but willfully refuse or neglect to pay the fines, costs, fees, or assessments or an installment due in Case No.__________.
You must be present at the hearing.
At any time before the date of the cost hearing, you may contact the court clerk and pay the fines, costs, fees, or assessments or any installment due.
THIS IS NOT AN ARREST WARRANT. However, if you fail to appear for the cost hearing or to make the payment, the court will issue a WARRANT for "FAILURE TO APPEAR-COST HEARING" and refer the case to a court cost compliance liaison which will cause an additional thirty percent (30%) administrative fee to be added to the amount owed.
3. If the defendant fails to appear at the cost hearing or pay the amount due the court shall issue a warrant for FAILURE TO APPEAR-COST HEARING and refer the case to the court cost compliance program as provided in subsection K of this section.4. Municipal courts, in lieu of mailing the summons provided for in this subsection, may give the defendant personal notice at the time of sentencing of a specific date, time, and place, not less than sixty (60) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of sentencing to appear for a cost hearing if the fines, costs, fees, and assessments remain unpaid.
