     641.12 Collection of fees and board bills. 

    Subdivision 1.    Fee.  A county board may require that 
 each person who is booked for confinement at a county or 
 regional jail, and not released upon completion of the booking 
 process, pay a fee of up to $10 to the sheriff's department of 
 the county in which the jail is located.  The fee is payable 
 immediately from any money then possessed by the person being 
 booked, or any money deposited with the sheriff's department on 
 the person's behalf.  If the person has no funds at the time of 
 booking or during the period of any incarceration, the sheriff 
 shall notify the district court in the county where the charges 
 related to the booking are pending, and shall request the 
 assessment of the fee.  Notwithstanding section 609.10 or 
 609.125, upon notification from the sheriff, the district court 
 must order the fee paid to the sheriff's department as part of 
 any sentence or disposition imposed.  If the person is not 
 charged, is acquitted, or if the charges are dismissed, the 
 sheriff shall return the fee to the person at the last known 
 address listed in the booking records.  

    Subd. 2.    Board.  At the end of every month the 
 sheriff of each county shall render to the county auditor a 
 statement showing the name of each fugitive from justice, United 
 States prisoner, one committed from another county or one 
 committed by virtue of any city ordinance, the amount due the 
 county for board of each and from whom, and also of all amounts 
 due for board of prisoners for the preceding month.
