29636. Upon conviction of any person of a crime which has resulted in the injury or destruction of property for which reimbursement is provided for under a program established pursuant to this article, in addition to the requirements of Section 13964 the court shall take into consideration the defendant’s economic condition, and unless it finds such action will cause the family of the defendant to be dependent upon public welfare, may, in addition to any other penalty, order the defendant to pay a fine in an amount sufficient to pay for the replacement or repair of the property injured or destroyed but not more than the fair market value of such property. That portion of the fine not subject to the provisions of Section 13964 shall be appropriated to the county or city whose legislative body has established such a program and shall be used to pay claims which have been allowed pursuant to provisions adopted by the legislative body pursuant to this article.
If the legislative body of a county and the legislative body of a city therein, have both established such a program, such portion of the fine shall be paid to the county or city which actually has paid the claimant.

29705. The board may adopt forms for the submission and payment of claims and may prescribe and adopt warrant forms separate from claim forms, to the end that the approved claims may be retained in the auditor’s office as vouchers supporting the warrants issued. The forms so adopted may not be inconsistent with the provisions of this article or of any other statutes or regulations expressly governing any such claims or the presentation thereof, and shall provide:
(a) For the approval of the officer directing the expenditure. In counties having a system under which expenditures may be initiated by requisition, the approval may be omitted from claims initiated by requisition.
(b) For the approval of the purchasing agent or other officers issuing the purchase order under which the charge was incurred, or having charge of contracts or schedules of salaries under which the claim arose.
(c) For the approval of at least one member of the board. In lieu of the supervisor’s approval on each claim there may be substituted duplicate lists of claims allowed, showing, as to each claim, the name of the claimant, the amount allowed, and the date of allowance. The lists shall be certified to the board by the clerk of the board or other competent officer or employee designated by it for the purpose, as being a true list of claims properly and regularly coming before the board. Upon allowance of claims each of the lists, after amendment if necessary, shall be certified to as having been allowed by the board, the date allowed, and that such lists are correct by one member of the board or by the clerk of the board and filed, one in the office of the clerk of the board and one in the office of the auditor. When filed the lists constitute respectively the “allowance book” and the “warrant book.” If the allowance book is dispensed with by the board of supervisors under the authority of Section 25102, a single list of claims may be substituted in lieu of a supervisor’s approval on each claim, which list shall be processed and certified as required for duplicate lists and shall be filed in the office of the county auditor as the warrant book.
(d) For the certificate of the clerk of the board as to the date and amount of allowance of the claim by the board. If the duplicate lists of claims allowed are filed, the certificate may be omitted, but in its stead there shall appear on each claim a reference by date, number, or otherwise to the list on which the claim appears listed as allowed.
(e) For the certificate of the clerk of the board or of the auditor as to the correctness of the computations.
(f) For the auditor’s approval.

29706. Failure of a claimant to use a form prescribed by the board pursuant to Section 29705 is not a defense to a suit against the county on a claim for which Part 3 (commencing with Section 900) and Part 4 (commencing with Section 940) of Division 3.6 of Title 1 requires a claim to be presented.

In a county where the board of supervisors has adopted the procedures prescribed in Article 2 (commencing with Section 29740) of this chapter a claim against the county presented by a member of the board for per diem and mileage or for service rendered by him need not be presented to the district attorney or county counsel. The allowance of the claim by the auditor shall constitute authority for the issuance of a warrant on the county treasury for such an amount of each such claim as the auditor finds to be a correct and legal county charge.
This section shall not be operative in any county until such time as the board of supervisors shall, by resolution adopted by majority vote, make the provisions of this section applicable in such county.
