Written Orders Required by Supreme Court Rule 557
An important reminder to municipalities and municipal prosecutors. Under Supreme Court Rule 557 (which became effective March 1, 2019), courts must now enter written orders imposing any sentence and all fines, fees, and costs against a defendant at the time of
sentencing in traffic, conservation cases, and ordinance violation cases. More importantly for municipalities, the municipal prosecutor is responsible for drafting the order and presenting it to the
defendant or the defendant's attorney for review before
submitting it to the court.
