Ark. Code Ann. § 16-21-703: Collection of fees

(a) It is not the purpose of this section, § 16-21-701(a)(2) , and § 16-21-702 to repeal any laws now or hereafter enacted fixing the fees collectible as prosecuting attorneys' fees, but rather to update and make possible a more efficient administration of justice and county government.

(b) All courts shall collect the fees heretofore provided by law as prosecuting attorneys' fees, and all such fees collected shall be paid into the county treasury as required by law regarding funds belonging to the county.

(c) It is the explicit legislative intent to provide the salaries and expense allowances set forth in this section, § 16-21-701(a)(2) , and § 16-21-702 without regard to the amount of prosecuting attorneys' fees and emoluments earned or collected in the counties affected by this section, § 16-21-701(a)(2) , and § 16-21-702 . However, nothing in this section, § 16-21-701(a)(2) , and § 16-21-702 shall be so interpreted as to preclude Crittenden County from paying additional expense allowances in addition to those enumerated herein upon proper action of the appropriate quorum courts.
