(c) Whenever a CAP monitors a designated traffic violator school, the CAP shall follow the procedures set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 11214. The CAP shall send its monitoring report to the department for review, evaluation, processing and any further action determined necessary by the department. A copy of the report shall also be provided to the court. The role of a CAP is limited to that set forth in this chapter. Nothing in this chapter abrogates or limits the inherent powers of the courts under Article VI of the California Constitution.
(c) The court may charge a traffic violator a fee to defray the costs incurred by a TAP for traffic case administration services provided to the court pursuant to subdivision (b). The court may delegate collection of the fee to the TAP. Fees shall be approved and regulated by the court. The fee shall not exceed the actual costs incurred by the TAP for the activities authorized under subdivision (b).

(f) The department or a court may not remove the name of a traffic violator school that does not have a suspended or revoked license from any part of a student referral list published by the department or CAP pursuant to Section 11205, unless the school owner is first provided notice and the opportunity to request a hearing conducted by the department or a court, to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to warrant removal of the school’s name. Any decision to remove a name may be appealed to any court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) In the event that a CAP, acting pursuant to a contract with a court, audits or inspects the records of a traffic violator school, the CAP shall use the same process and procedures used by the department to conduct the audit or inspection.
(h) This section does not preclude a court from entering into a contract with public or private nonprofit agencies to provide services to the court, other than those described in this section.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2013, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2013, deletes or extends that date.
(d) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2013.
