McHenry County Committee Considers Mental Health Court Outcomes

The Law and Justice Committee of the McHenry County Board meets at 8:30 this morning in the Administration Building. A presentation is scheduled to be made on the Mental Health Court Outcomes and an update on the Drug Court Initiative.

Action expected to be taken includes appointments to four fire protection districts, including Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Harvard and McHenry.

Also, a Resolution is expected to be adopted setting a $5 assessment to be paid by each defendant on a guilty judgment or granting of supervision for Classes A, B or C misdemeanors, for a petty offense and for business offense, all committed in McHenry County. These fees are to be used to offset the all costs incurred in connection with the drug court.

The fees will be remitted to the Drug Court less 5% retained by the Circuit Court Clerk for costs.
