Opinion
No. 94-3030.
June 12, 1995.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Bay County, Clinton Foster, J.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; P. Douglas Brinkmeyer, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., William J. Bakstran, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
Mark Moffett appeals his judgment and sentence for dealing in stolen property. We affirm the judgment and sentence except for the $50 the lower court imposed pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes (Crimes Compensation Trust Fund). The cost imposed pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes was increased in 1992 from $20 to $50. Ch. 92-107, § 13, at 905, Laws of Fla. The effective date of the amendment was July 1, 1992. Id. § 17, at 906. The act also provides that "[c]laims for compensation arising from crimes that occurred before July 1, 1992, shall be governed by the law in effect on June 30, 1992." Id. § 16, at 906. Moffett's crime occurred in 1990. Therefore, the lower court should amend the judgment and sentence so that the cost imposed on Moffett pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes is $20.
AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
ERVIN, MINER and BENTON, JJ., concur.
