bill by municipal or district court clerk and making of final assessment of costs in circuit
court upon appeals from municipal or district courts to circuit courts. (a) It is hereby declared

process has been abused. (b) Docket fees and other court costs in criminal cases shall be
assessed upon conviction; provided that, in the interest of justice,...

Section 15-13-130 Cash bail - Undertaking of bail: Basis of and when forfeited. The basis of
all undertakings of bail, whether upon a warrant, writ of arrest, suspension of judgment,

absolute for the entire sum deposited and the money shall then become public money of the
State General Fund or in bail forfeiture cases pending in the municipal courts...
