Tennessee § 5-8-401 - Disposition.

§ 5-8-401. Disposition.

The county mayor is required, in making settlements with clerks, to ascertain what amount of money is in their hands due to witnesses and officers, that may have been collected by them from suitors, and that has been in the hands of the clerk for more than two (2) years, and such sums of money shall be paid into the county treasury as other county revenue. Code 1858, § 521 (deriv. Acts 1845-1846, ch. 32, § 1); Shan., § 661; Code 1932, § 1060; Acts 1939, ch. 193, § 1; C. Supp. 1950, § 1060; impl. am. Acts 1978, ch. 934, §§ 16, 36; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 5-821; Acts 2003, ch. 90, § 2. Compiler's Notes. Section 521 of the 1858 Code was probably superseded by Acts 1891, ch. 227, requiring such money to be paid into the state treasury after six years, but such act was repealed by Acts 1893, ch. 65 and § 521 specifically revived and reenacted. This section may be affected by the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act compiled in title 66, ch. 29. Acts 2003, ch. 90, § 2, directed the code commission to change all references from “county executive” to “county mayor” and to include all such changes in supplements and replacement volumes for the Tennessee Code Annotated.
