JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Fine improperly imposed.

- Since no fine was imposed on the driving under the influence count, the $100 brain/spinal cord fee and the $25 driving under the influence victim surcharge should have been imposed under O.C.G.A. §§ 15-21-149(a) and15-21-150 because those fees were contingent upon the imposition of a fine. Johnson v. State, 282 Ga. App. 258, 638 S.E.2d 406 (2006).
