CHAPTER 8 - Fees
Section 24353.
Each officer of a county authorized to collect money shall pay into the county treasury all money collected by him or her, or under his or her control, that is payable into the treasury in a timely manner, and shall remit fee, fine, and forfeiture data within 35 days after the end of the month in which they are collected to the county auditor and treasurer in the form they require. No officer who collects money as described in this section shall be required to accept payment in coin. If the county auditor finds that an officer of the county has failed to comply with the requirements for payment of moneys pursuant to this section or Section 68101, which directly results in the assessment of a financial penalty pursuant to Section 68085, the county department that failed to comply shall reimburse the county general fund in an amount equal to the actual penalty. With the approval of the treasurer as provided in Section 27080.1, each depositing officer may deposit directly into the treasurer’s active account all money payable into the county treasury.
(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 470, Sec. 30. (AB 1529) Effective January 1, 2013.)
