The amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the fees collected <br>by the jailers during each calendar year shall be paid to the fiscal courts, urban-<br>county governments, or consolidated local governments of the respective counties <br>by April 1 of each year succeeding the calendar year during which the fees were <br>received by the Finance and Administration Cabinet. The amount of twenty-five <br>percent (25%) of the fees collected by the county clerks and sheriffs during each <br>calendar year shall be paid to the fiscal courts, urban-county governments, or <br>consolidated local governments of the respective counties quarterly no later than <br>April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 15.

After payment of the salaries and expenses specified in this subsection, <br>any remaining balance of the seventy-five percent (75%) of the fees collected by the <br>officers respectively at the end of their official term shall be paid by the State <br>Treasurer to the fiscal courts, urban-county governments, or consolidated local <br>governments of the respective counties, subject to the provisions of subsection (2) <br>of this section.
