Amends the civil practice law to establish a five-dollar electronic citation fee.

Amends the civil practice law and rules by adding a new section on electronic citation fees. Defines "electronic citation" as the process of transmitting traffic, misdemeanor, municipal ordinance, conservation, or other citations and law enforcement data via electronic means to a county clerk. Establishes a five-dollar fee for electronic citations, payable by the defendant. Sixty percent of the fee goes into the "electronic citation fund" for each county, while forty percent is disbursed to the arresting agency. The county clerk serves as the custodian of the fund.
