# O.C.G.A. § 15-21-52. Payment into county treasury of funds received as part of fine and bond forfeiture fund.

Any funds coming into the possession of the prosecuting attorney of any court, any officer of court, or any other person as a part of the fine and bond forfeiture fund shall be paid over by the prosecuting attorney or other officer or person into the treasury of the county as provided by law. No payment to the county treasury of funds received by an officer shall be withheld past the end of the calendar year in which the funds were received.

## History

Ga. L. 1949, p. 1168, § 2B; Ga. L. 2015, p. 693, § 3-33/HB 233.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2015, p. 693, § 4-1/HB 233, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: ‘‘This Act shall become effective on July 1, 2015, and shall apply to seizures of property for forfeiture that occur on or after that date. Any such seizure that occurs before July 1, 2015, shall be governed by the statute in effect at the time of such seizure.’’

## Other Notes

The 2015 amendment, effective July 1, 2015, substituted ‘‘fine and bond forfeiture fund’’ for ‘‘fine and forfeiture fund’’ in the middle of the first sentence. See editor’s note for applicability.
