692A.6  Registration fees and civil penalty for offenders.

1.  At the time of filing a registration statement, or a change of registration, with the sheriff of the county of residence, a person who is required to register under this chapter shall pay a fee of ten dollars to the sheriff. If, at the time of registration, the person who is required to register is unable to pay the fee, the sheriff may allow the person time to pay the fee, permit the payment of the fee in installments, or may waive payment of the fee. Fees paid to the sheriff shall be used to defray the costs of duties related to the registration of persons under this chapter.

2.  In addition to any other penalty, at the time of conviction for a public offense committed on or after July 1, 1995, which requires a person to register under this chapter, the person shall be assessed a civil penalty of two hundred dollars, to be payable in the same manner as a fine. The clerk of the district court shall transmit money collected under this subsection each month to the treasurer of state, who shall deposit ten percent of the moneys transmitted by the clerk into the court technology and modernization fund, for use for the purposes established in section 602.8108, subsection 4, paragraph "a", and deposit the balance of the moneys transmitted by the clerk into the sex offender registry fund established under section 692A.11.

3.  The fees required by this section shall not be assessed against a person who has been acquitted by reason of insanity of the offense which requires registration under this chapter.
