(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, all fines imposed by any judge, magistrate or court in the enforcement of the Liquor Control Act or the Oregon Distilled Liquor Control Act shall be forwarded immediately to the county treasurer of the county in which such conviction is had. The county treasurer shall keep the same in a separate fund designated as an enforcement fund. All warrants for any expenditures in the enforcement of that statute, which have been approved by the district attorney of said county, shall be drawn on this fund. All claims shall be verified by the claimants or persons having knowledge or supervision of the expenditures and shall be audited by the county court in the usual manner before presentation for payment thereof. When the enforcement fund exceeds the amount paid to satisfy the total of all claims made against it during the preceding calendar year, the excess amount shall be paid to the general fund of such county by the county treasurer on June 30 and December 31 of each year.
(2) Any fine imposed or collected by a municipal judge may be retained by the municipality and shall be paid over and become a part of the city’s general fund. [Amended by 1995 c.301 §71; 1999 c.788 §57]
