64.050 Collection of fees and payment after leaving office. (1) When the term of any county clerk in counties of seventy-five thousand (75,000) population or over expires, or he dies or resigns, or is removed from office, he or
his personal representative, trustee, or committee, as the case may be, shall at once
deliver to his successor in office all accounts, claims, and fees due him in his
official capacity. The successor shall have the fees, claims, and accounts collected,
or the Department for Local Government may, in its discretion, when said accounts,
fees, and claims are so delivered to the successor, appoint a person to collect them.
If a collector is appointed, the successor shall at once, or when demanded by the
collector, deliver to him all accounts, fees, and claims uncollected. The successor or
collector, as the case may be, shall, every sixty (60) days after receiving the
accounts, fees, and claims, report to the Department for Local Government, under
oath, the amount collected thereon, and at the same time pay to the Department for
Local Government the amount so collected, and shall continue to so report for three
(3) years, unless the accounts, fees, and claims are sooner collected. (2) The Department for Local Government shall, upon each payment, draw a warrant on the State Treasurer in favor of the person collecting, for an amount equal to
twenty percent (20%) of the amount so paid in, which shall be the full
compensation allowed for the collection. (3) If the amount paid to any clerk during his term or incumbency was not sufficient to pay the salaries and office expenses of the clerk, the Department for Local
Government shall, out of the money collected and paid in as provided in subsection
(1) of this section, pay to the clerk, or to the person entitled to receive the same, an
amount sufficient to supply the deficit due for salaries and expenses, not exceeding
seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of fees accrued during his official term
and which have been collected and paid to the Department for Local Government. Effective: July 15, 2010
