administrative fee for an arrested person pursuant to the same
standards and procedures set forth in Section 29550.1.
(b) Any city whose officer or agent arrests a person is entitled
to recover from the arrested person a criminal justice administration

the arrest, whether or not it is the offense for which the person was
originally booked.
(c) Any booking fee imposed pursuant to this section shall be

for reimbursement of expenses incurred with respect to the booking or
other processing of persons into a jail facility operated by that
