(a) The governing authority of each county may compel all persons and their heirs and personal representatives who have in their possession any county money collected for any county purpose whatever to pay over the county money to the county governing authority.

(b) Upon the failure of obligated persons to pay over county moneys, the county governing authority shall issue executions against such persons and their securities, if any, for the full amount appearing to be due. The executions shall be issued in the same manner as the commissioner issues executions against defaulting tax commissioners or tax collectors.
