The amended statute simply provides for more efficient collection of monies payable to the courts that are ultimately due or owing to the county, by centralizing the collection efforts of the courts. The plain meaning of the statute is not that the amendment wrests power or responsibility from the court concerning monies that are initially payable to the court. Or That Are Ultimately To Be Held In Trust By The County. It has also been suggested that these monies are not county monies or monies held in trust, and are, therefore, not within the purview of NRS 244.207 until they are actually collected by the court. The legislature could not have intended to authorize a county to only utilize collection procedures against a justice court, for example, that already faces criminal penalties if it does not regularly turn over collected monies to the county treasurer.

There is nothing in this statutory provision which impedes the courts in the exercise of their inherent judicial power to enforce their judgments and orders. Therefore, NRS 244.207 is constitutional. To Cooperate With The County. The amended ordinance, in conformance with the statutory amendment to NRS 244.207, does not provide for the county to cashier these collected monies or disburse them before they have been cashiered by the court.
