Is a defendant required to provide a detailed recitation of all fees, fines and penalties on his criminal record at sentencing?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. McCurdy, C065382, Super. Ct. No. 08F5030 (Cal. App. 2011):

In High, supra, 119 Cal.App.4th at page 1200, this court required the trial court at sentencing to provide a "detailed recitation of all the fees, fines and penalties on the record," including their statutory bases. Recognizing that such a requirement "may be tedious," we explained "California law does not authorize shortcuts. All fines and fees must be set forth in the abstract of judgment." (Ibid.) This requirement also applies where the defendant is granted probation and, rather than an abstract of judgment, the trial court generates a probation minute order requiring confinement in a city or county jail as a condition of probation. (People v. Eddards (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 712, 717-718.)
