Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 45, November 9, 2024
Section 81.305 - Special Provisions Applicable to Custodial Accounts of Magisterial District Judges(a) Each Magisterial District Judge must use the statewide computerized reporting system of the AOPC for reporting all transactions which occur through his or her Custodial Account. As of the date of these Regulations, the AOPC Magisterial District Judge Case Reporting System is incapable of handling more than one Custodial Account per Magisterial District Judge, meaning that each Magisterial District Judge may maintain only one Custodial Account.(b) Custodial Funds received by a Magisterial District Judge will generally be Qualified Funds. Magisterial District Judges, however, may determine that particular Custodial Funds received are not, in fact, Qualified Funds, applying the criteria set forth in § 81.304.(c) Each Magisterial District Judge is permitted to exercise his or her judgment as to whether Custodial Funds received by that Magisterial District Judge are Qualified Funds. If, in the Good Faith judgment of the Magisterial District Judge, Custodial Funds are not Qualified Funds, the Magisterial District Judge may request a refund of income with respect to those Custodial Funds. See § 81.308-Refunds.(d) If, in the future, the AOPC Magisterial District Judge Case Reporting System permits handling of multiple Custodial Accounts for each Magisterial District Judge, the provisions of this section shall no longer apply, although Magisterial District Judges shall remain subject to the remaining provisions of these Regulations.The provisions of this §81.305 adopted January 6, 2005, effective 2/1/2005, 35 Pa.B. 497; amended August 7, 2017, effective immediately, 47 Pa.B. 4802.
