§ 30:4-157.
Whenever a juvenile shall be committed to the custody of the Juvenile Justice Commission
established pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1995, c. 284 ( C.52:17B-170 ), it shall be the duty of the court, at the time of the examination, to make inquiry
as to the ability of the parent or guardian to pay the expenses of the commitment
proceedings and the board of the juvenile, and it shall endorse on the warrant of
commitment a statement of its finding in that regard. Payment by the parent or guardian of these costs shall be made to the probation division
or county adjuster, whichever the court shall designate; provided, however, that
upon collection thereof the costs of the commitment proceedings shall be paid to the
county treasurer, and any amount received representing maintenance shall be forwarded
to the State Treasurer. In the event of failure of the parent or guardian to pay the amount ordered by the
court then the probation division or county adjuster, as the case may be, shall bring
the matter before the court for such further order as shall appear proper therein
to compel payment.
