Section 40-2-180. Unpaid costs become judgment.
(A) All costs and fines imposed pursuant to this chapter are due and payable immediately upon imposition or at the time indicated by final order of the board.

Interest at the legal rate accrues on the amount due from the date imposed until the date paid. All costs and fines imposed pursuant to this chapter must be paid in accordance with and are subject to the collection and enforcement provisions of Section 40-1-180 and subject to the collection and enforcement provisions of the Setoff Debt Collection Act.
(B) All fines and costs collected under this chapter must be remitted by the department to the State Treasurer and deposited in a special fund established for the department to defray the administrative costs associated with investigations and hearings under this chapter.
