fund, expenditures.
(a) Any defendant convicted of a crime under chapters 34, 35 or 36 of article
21 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, in which a minor
is a victim shall pay an assessment fee in the amount of $100 commencing on and
after June 30, 2004, to the clerk of the district court. If it appears to the
satisfaction of the court that payment of the assessment fee will impose
manifest hardship on the defendant, the court may waive payment of all or part
of the assessment fee. All moneys received pursuant to this section shall be
remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the
state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the
credit of the children's advocacy center fund established in subsection (b).
(b) There is hereby established the children's advocacy center fund in the
state treasury which shall be administered by the attorney general. All
expenditures from the children's advocacy center fund shall be for operating
expenditures of children's advocacy centers in the state that are eligible for
funding pursuant to law. All expenditures from the children's advocacy center
fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the
director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the
attorney general or the attorney general's designee.
