JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Fine improperly imposed.
- Since no fine was imposed on the driving under the influence offense that violated O.C.G.A. § 40-6-391, the $100 brain/spinal cord fee imposed under O.C.G.A. §§ 15-21-149 and15-21-150 and the $25 driving under the influence victim surcharge imposed under O.C.G.A. §§ 15-21-110 and15-21-112(a) should not have been imposed under O.C.G.A. §§ 15-21-112 and15-21-149(a) because those fees were contingent upon the imposition of a fine.
