Honorable

Judge, Presiding.

JUSTICE BYRNE delivered the opinion of the court:

The issue presented by this appeal is whether the monetarycredit allowed by section 110--14 of the Code of Criminal Procedureof 1963 (Code) (725 ILCS 5/110--14 (West 2000)) applies to courtcosts, probation fees, and lab analysis fees. Section 110--14provides:

"Credit for Incarceration on Bailable Offense. Anyperson incarcerated on a bailable offense who does not supplybail and against whom a fine is levied on conviction of suchoffense shall be allowed a credit of $5 for each day soincarcerated upon application of the defendant. However, inno case shall the amount so allowed or credited exceed theamount of the fine." 725 ILCS 5/110--14 (West 2000).

For the reasons that follow, we hold that the monetary creditallowed by section 110--14 does not apply to court costs, probationfees, or lab analysis fees.
