Moffett v. State
Moffett v. State
Opinion of the Court
Mark Moffett appeals his judgment and sentence for dealing in stolen property. We affirm the judgment and sentence except for the $50 the lower court imposed pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes (Crimes Compensation Trust Fund). The cost imposed pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes was increased in 1992 from $20 to $50. Ch. 92-107, § 13, at 905, Laws of Fla. The effective date of the amendment was July 1, 1992. Id. § 17, at 906. The act also provides that “[cjlaims for compensation arising from crimes that occurred before July 1, 1992, shall be governed by the law in effect on June 30, 1992.” Id. § 16, at 906. Mof-fett’s crime occurred in 1990. Therefore, the lower court should amend the judgment and sentence so that the cost imposed on Moffett pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes is $20.
