§ 3252. Expenditure of Funds
TITLE 7: CIVIL PROCEDURE DIVISION 3: TRIAL § 3252. Civil Fines. (a) Any fines imposed in accordance with law by anyone other than a court shall be paid into the Commonwealth Treasury unless the law under which it is imposed otherwise directs. Such fines shall be considered civil fines and no person may be imprisoned solely for failure to pay them, but any such fine may be collected in the manner provided for collection of taxes in title 4, division 1, chapter 8 of this code [4 CMC § 1801 et seq.], or as may be provided in the law under which the fine is imposed, provided it is not inconsistent with this section. (b) In any civil suit to collect such a fine, the written statement of the person who assessed the fine shall have the same effect as that of the treasurer of a taxing unit under 4 CMC § 1813 of this code.
