During 2012 this component is expected to be at 43.9% of total collections and it is16 Items included in the category labeled “County Recoupment” include all amounts going to the county, includingthe county CX fund, the court current expense fund, local drug, cleanup and lab funds, and local fines and penalties.Revenue items included in the category labeled “State Revenue” include all revenues going to the state generalfunds 40 and 54), the state Judicial Information System (JIS) account, crime lab funding, the state DNA account,various wildlife related penalties, and the state Indigent Defense fund.________________________________________________________ ______________________________Washington Association of County Officials December 2012Report to the Washington State LegislatureOn the Fiscal Impact of ESSB 5990 Page 11 of 38
