(a) (1) Upon filing a notice of appeal for which a fee is paid pursuant to Section 68926, the appellant shall deposit the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) with the clerk of the originating court. The deposit shall be credited against the amount chargeable for the preparation of the clerk’s transcript or any other appeal processing or notification.
(2) The deposit shall be forfeited in the event of abandonment or dismissal of appeal prior to filing of the record in the reviewing court.
(3) The amount charged for preparation of the transcript or any deposit that is forfeited shall be distributed to the court in which it was collected.
