Plain-English Summary
Section 25-2712 anchors county court fees and costs to Chapter 33, which sets the applicable amounts. Beyond that reference, the section is about moving the money: each clerk of the court must transmit, no later than the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which the money was received, all fees and costs collected.
What gets transmitted is not just raw fees. It includes any interest or other income the court accumulated from invested funds under section 25-2713, along with any fees collected for credit card use, reduced by whatever costs the court incurred from accepting credit cards and any other bank charges. The State Treasurer, once the money arrives, deposits it in the General Fund.

Chapter 33 provides the fees and costs applicable in county court.

More. The transmission includes interest or other income accumulated from invested funds under section 25-2713, and credit card fees net of the costs and bank charges the court incurred.

Deposited in the General Fund.
Does this section explain how the county court invests funds to earn that interest?
No. That process is addressed in section 25-2713, and this section only accounts for sending the resulting interest along with the fees and costs.
