64.350 Return of fees to counties whose officers pay fees into State Treasury -- Applicability of KRS 64.368 if population decreases below 70,000. (1) In counties having a population of seventy thousand (70,000) or more, the salaries of the county clerks and sheriffs and of their deputies and all necessary office
expenses, including the equipping, furnishing, maintaining, and operation of the
offices, shall be paid out of the State Treasury in amounts not to exceed seventy-
five percent (75%) of the fees collected by the officers respectively, and received
into the Treasury; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the fees collected by the
officers respectively, and received into the State Treasury shall be paid in the
manner provided by law for the payment of other claims against the state to the
fiscal courts, urban-county governments, or consolidated local governments of the
respective counties. The amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the fees collected
by the jailers during each calendar year shall be paid to the fiscal courts, urban-
county governments, or consolidated local governments of the respective counties
by April 1 of each year succeeding the calendar year during which the fees were
received by the Finance and Administration Cabinet. The amount of twenty-five
percent (25%) of the fees collected by the county clerks and sheriffs during each
calendar year shall be paid to the fiscal courts, urban-county governments, or
consolidated local governments of the respective counties quarterly no later than
April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 15. Each payment shall be for the
preceding three (3) months during which fees were received by the Finance and
Administration Cabinet. Adjustments necessary to insure that exactly twenty-five
percent (25%) of fees collected are returned to the fiscal courts, urban-county
governments, or consolidated local governments shall be made in the January 15
payment. After payment of the salaries and expenses specified in this subsection,
any remaining balance of the seventy-five percent (75%) of the fees collected by the
officers respectively at the end of their official term shall be paid by the State
Treasurer to the fiscal courts, urban-county governments, or consolidated local
governments of the respective counties, subject to the provisions of subsection (2)
of this section. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, all sums received into the State Treasury and representing seventy-five percent (75%) of the fees
collected by the sheriffs specified in subsection (1) of this section from any county
or consolidated local government in which a metropolitan correctional services
department has been established shall be expended from the State Treasury for the
payment of the salaries and costs specified in subsection (1) of this section, and in
Section 106 of the Constitution of Kentucky. After payment of the salaries and costs
specified in this subsection, the remaining balance representing fees collected by
sheriffs shall be paid by the State Treasury to the fiscal court or to the consolidated
local government of the county in which a metropolitan correctional services
department has been established by April 1 of each year succeeding the calendar
year in which the fees were received by the Finance and Administration Cabinet. (3) If a county's population that equaled or exceeded seventy thousand (70,000) is less than seventy thousand (70,000) after the most recent decennial census, then the
provisions of KRS 64.368 shall apply. Effective: July 15, 2002
