§ 37-45-47. Time for payment of costs; procedure in case of nonpayment.
All costs taxed by the commission in any hearing or proceeding shall be had within forty-five days after the date of any final order of the commission or decree of the chancery court if no appeal is taken therefrom, and within thirty days after the final order or judgment of the supreme court of Mississippi if an appeal is taken to it.
In the event said costs are not so paid, said commission shall certify the same to the state board of education and unless said costs shall have been paid the said state board of education shall deduct the amount thereof, as to any county board of education, from the next allotment to said county for administrative expenses, and as to any municipal separate school district from its next allotment of two hundred dollars ($200.00) per teacher unit. Such amount shall be paid to the commission, which shall deposit same in the state treasury, and the same shall then be disbursed to the person to whom it is owing by proper warrant upon order of the commission. The provisions of this section shall not relieve the obligation of any surety upon any appeal bond.
