(A) All fines collected from or moneys arising from bail forfeited by persons apprehended or arrested by state highway patrol troopers shall be paid 45% into the state treasury and 55% to the treasury of the municipal corporation where the case is prosecuted if in a Mayor’s Court. If the prosecution is in a trial court outside a municipal corporation or outside the territorial jurisdiction of a municipal court, the fines and moneys shall be paid 55% into the county treasury. The fines and moneys paid into the state treasury shall be credited to the general revenue fund. The fines and moneys paid into a county treasury and the fines and moneys paid into the treasury of a municipal corporation shall be deposited one-half to the same fund and expended in the same manner as is the revenue received from the registration of motor vehicles, and one-half to the general fund of such county or municipal corporation.
(B) If the prosecution is in a municipal court, 45% of the fines and moneys shall be paid into the state treasury to be credited to the general revenue fund, 10% shall be paid into the county treasury to be credited to the general fund of the county, and 45% shall be paid into the municipal treasury to be credited to the general fund of the municipal corporation.
(C) The trial court shall make remittance of the fines and moneys as prescribed in this section, and at the same time as the remittance is made of the state’s portion to the state treasury, the trial court shall notify the superintendent of the state highway patrol of the case and the amount covered by the remittance.
(D) This section does not apply to fines for violations of R.C. § 4513.263(B), or for violations of any municipal ordinance that is substantively comparable to that division, all of which shall be delivered to the treasurer of state as provided in R.C. § 4513.263(E).
