16-21-1503. Assessment and collection of prosecuting attorney's fees.

(a) At the end of each calendar month and within ten (10) days thereafter, the officers collecting the fees shall pay them into the treasury of the county, except as otherwise provided in Acts 1985, No. 1097, 2 and 3, and shall receive from the treasurer his receipt in duplicate, a copy of which shall be filed with the county clerk, and the other copy kept by the office or person making the settlement with the treasury.

(b) It is further recognized that for the most important and complicated work performed by the prosecuting attorney of the counties affected by this subchapter, fees are not provided by law. Therefore, it specifically is the legislative intent to provide the salaries and office expenses set forth in this subchapter without regard to the amount of prosecuting attorney's fees and emoluments earned or collected in the judicial district affected by this subchapter.
