Fines may be paid to a military court or to an officer executing its process.

Any sum so deducted shall be turned in to the military court which imposed the fine and shall be paid over by the officer receiving it in like manner as provided for other fines and moneys collected under a sentence of a summary court-martial. Notwithstanding any other law, a fine or penalty imposed by a military court upon an officer or enlistee shall be paid by the officer collecting it within thirty (30) days to the Treasurer of State and shall become a part of, be credited to, and be spent from, the Department of the Military Fund. The Treasurer of State shall then report the amount thereof to the Adjutant General and shall pay it over in appropriate warrant. If a punishment of fine or forfeiture of an amount of base pay and allowance is imposed by a court-martial, the amount of the fine or forfeiture shall apply to any type or category of pay and allowances then due or becoming due on or after the date that the punishment is imposed before any deduction, withholding, assignment, previous forfeiture, or collection from the pay and allowances, and to any pay and allowances accrued before that date.
