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.
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.
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.
