District Court Revolving Fund.

A. Beginning July 1, 1991, there is hereby created with the

county treasurer of each county within this state a depository

revolving fund to be designated the "Court Clerk's Revolving Fund".

The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year

limitations, and shall consist of all monies received as grants from

the federal government and any other monies designated by law for

deposit into the fund. All monies accruing to the credit of the

fund shall be expended by the court clerk for the lawful operation

of the court clerk's office. Claims against the fund shall include

only expenses incurred for the operation of the court clerk's office

in each county, and payment may be made after the claim is approved

by the court clerk and either the district or the associate district

judge of that county. The monies shall be reported quarterly to the

Administrator of the Courts. The necessary forms and procedures

shall be developed and implemented by the Administrative Director of

the Courts.

B. There shall be no monies, other than federal funds,

deposited into the fund created herein, unless expressly authorized

by the Legislature.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court clerk

shall assess an administrative fee of ten percent (10%) on all fees

collected by the court clerk for agencies other than the court and

not deposited into the court fund. The administrative fee shall not

attach to the sheriff's service fees provided for in Sections 153

and 153.2 of Title 28 of the Oklahoma Statutes, monies deposited

into the Law Library Fund, witness fees paid by the district

attorney pursuant to the provisions of Section 82 of Title 28 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, and dispute resolution fees provided for in

Section 1809 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The

administrative fees shall be deposited in the Court Clerk's

Revolving Fund.

D. Effective July 1, 2016, in addition to the amount collected

in subsection C of this section, the court clerk shall assess an

administrative fee of fifteen percent (15%) on all fees collected by

the court clerk for agencies other than the court and not deposited

into the court fund.

E. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving

fund to be allocated by the Supreme Court for the administration of

the district courts designated as the "District Court Revolving

Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal

year limitations, and shall consist of all monies collected pursuant

to subsection D of this section. All monies accruing to the credit

of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended

by the Supreme Court as necessary to perform the duties imposed upon

the district courts by law. Expenditures from the District Court

Revolving Fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State

Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the

Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for

approval and payment.
