§ 45. Disposal of fines and moneys recovered. Except as otherwise

provided in this chapter, all moneys recovered, either as fines,

penalties, forfeitures or otherwise, for the violation of any of the

provisions of this chapter, or of any other law the enforcement of which

is within the jurisdiction of the department, or of the rules of the

department, and all bail forfeited by persons charged with such

violations, shall be the property of the state. Moneys so recovered by

town justices shall be paid to the state comptroller in accordance with

the provisions of section twenty-seven of the town law and moneys so

by any officer by virtue of the provisions of this chapter. Provided,

however, that any such moneys collected as fines, penalties or

forfeitures as a result of a prosecution for a violation of any of the

provisions of article sixteen and sixteen-a of this chapter and all bail

forfeited by persons charged with such violations shall be the property

of the county or city, as the case may be, in which the alleged offense

was prosecuted and shall be paid to the treasurer, or corresponding

fiscal officer, of such county or city, except that any such moneys and

any such bail forfeitures, collected by the town justices or by village

justices shall be paid to the state comptroller in accordance with

section twenty-seven of the town law and section 4-410 of the village

law, respectively.
