Courts may choose to wait until all court costs are collected before remitting them to the State.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if the court approves
• D. Only for emergencies

Answer: (B)

Remittance of court costs to the State is governed by a fixed schedule rather than by waiting until every cost is collected. The Clerk’s office collects fees and must forward them to the State on a prescribed timeline (often monthly). Holding funds until all costs are collected would disrupt the state's accounting, could violate statutory requirements, and deprive the State of timely revenue. Even when some costs are outstanding, the collected amounts are remitted according to policy to maintain accurate, predictable funding and records. The option that suggests approval or emergencies as a condition for delaying remittance does not fit because the remittance schedule is set by statute and policy, not by discretionary decisions.
