At the close of business on Monday of each week when any application has been received or temporary instruction permit provided for in this article has been issued, the judge of probate or Department of Public Safety receiving the application or issuing the permit shall prepare a report of the same upon a form which shall be provided by the Director of Public Safety. One copy of the report, together with all applications received and copies of all permits issued, shall be forwarded to the Director of Public Safety and one copy shall be retained by the judge of probate. On the tenth day of every month except October, November, and December, the judge of probate and the Department of Public Safety shall prepare a report showing the number of applications received and permits issued and the amount of fees received during the previous calendar month. In the months of October, November, and December, the report shall be prepared on the twentieth day of the month. One copy of a report shall be forwarded to the Director of Public Safety, one to the Comptroller, and one to the Treasurer, and the judge of probate shall retain a copy. The judge of probate shall also at that time deliver to the Treasurer the amount of all the fees collected, less one dollar fifty cents ($1.50) for each driver license or identification card issued, which sum shall be retained by him or her. Except in counties where the judge of probate is compensated by fees, each one dollar fifty cents ($1.50) retained by the judge of probate shall be paid into the public highway and traffic fund of the county. In counties where the judge of probate is compensated by fees, two-fifths of each one dollar fifty cents ($1.50) retained by the judge of probate shall be for his or her own use, and no other or further charge shall be made by him or her for services rendered in taking or receiving applications or issuing permits, and the remaining three-fifths shall be paid into the public highway and traffic fund of the county. This section, providing for the allocation of the one dollar fifty cents ($1.50) retained by the judge of probate in counties where the judge of probate is compensated by fees, shall not repeal any local statutes or general statutes of local application providing for a different allocation of the one dollar fifty cents ($1.50). The funds remitted to the State Treasurer under this section, except for that portion representing five dollars ($5) for each license or card issued, shall be deposited to the credit of the General Fund and shall be appropriated for public safety use. The Department of Public Safety shall deliver the amount of all the fees collected by the department to the State Treasurer less one dollar fifty cents ($1.50) for each driver's license or identification card issued, which shall be remitted to the county general fund in the county of issuance on the tenth day of the following month. From the funds remitted to the State Treasurer, the portion representing five dollars ($5) shall be deposited into the Highway Traffic Safety Fund for the Department of Public Safety which is hereby created within the State Treasury. All money deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Highway Traffic Safety Fund for the Department of Public Safety shall be expended for law enforcement purposes. No money shall be withdrawn or expended from the fund for any law enforcement purpose unless the money has been allotted and budgeted in accordance with Article 4, commencing with Section 41-4-80, of Chapter 4 of Title 41, and only in the amounts and for the law enforcement purposes provided by the Legislature in the general appropriations bill.
