In any case in which a defendant is convicted of any of
the offenses enumerated in Section 372, 373a, 374.3, 374.4, 374.7, or
374.8, the court shall order the defendant to pay a fine of one
hundred dollars ($100) if the conviction is for an infraction or two
hundred dollars ($200) if the conviction is for a misdemeanor, in
addition to any other penalty or fine imposed. If the court
determines that the defendant has the ability to pay all or part of
the fine, the court shall set the amount to be paid and order the
defendant to pay that sum to the city or, if not within a city, the
county, where the violation occurred, to be used for the city's or
county's illegal dumping enforcement program.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, no state or county penalty, assessment, fee,
or surcharge shall be imposed on the fine ordered under this section.
