§ 14-31. Dedications of certain fine moneys.

(a)

Establishment of projections. The office of management and budget is hereby directed to establish an accurate approximation each fiscal year of the amount of monies to be remitted during the fiscal year to the county and each of the municipalities in the county as fines assessed for the violation of F.S. § 316.193, by virtue of F.S. § 316.660. The office of management and budget, at the request of any proper county or municipal authority, shall make an approximate projection for any year for which such projection reasonably can be made of the amount of such fine monies to be received by the governmental entity making such request. The projection so established by the office of management and budget may be utilized by the county or any of the municipalities for the purpose of computing or establishing an amount of such fine monies which each such governmental entity may choose to dedicate to the county drug abuse trust fund account.

(b)

Dedication instructions. The county and each municipality in the county, from time to time, may instruct the clerk of the circuit court to dedicate and pay to the county comptroller for deposit all or any portion, by percentage, of the fines levied for violation of F.S. § 316.193 and collected and to be remitted to that governmental entity by virtue of F.S. § 316.660. Instructions for the dedication of funds shall be given to the clerk of the circuit court in a writing executed by the chief administrative officer of the dedicating governmental entity. Dedication instructions may be revoked or amended at any time by a writing executed by the chief administrative officer of the governmental entity making such a change. Such changes shall be effective commencing the month after receipt by the clerk of the circuit court.

(c)

Expenditures from county drug abuse trust fund account. All funds dedicated by a governmental entity in accordance with the terms of this section shall be paid by the clerk of the circuit court directly to the county comptroller, who shall deposit all such funds into an account established solely for monies collected pursuant to F.S. § 316.193. These monies may be remitted to the county drug abuse trust fund account as created by and defined in Ordinance 89-5 at the direction and instruction of the chief administrative officer of the dedicating governmental entity. The disposition of all such funds so received and deposited in the county drug abuse trust fund account shall be in accordance with Ordinance 89-5, Section 5, entitled "Operation of County Drug Abuse Trust Fund."
