The following excerpt is from People v. Landa, E053154 (Cal. App. 2012):
2. Our determination that error in failure to impose the facilities assessment and court security fees must be corrected on appeal differs from our treatment of the trial court's failure to state reasons for staying the restitution fine, because the former fees are mandatory under all circumstances, whereas, the latter is subject to the trial court's discretion in certain circumstances. (See People v. Tillman, supra, 22 Cal.4th at p. 303.)
