L. 100–459, title IV, § 400, Oct. 1, 1988, 102 Stat. 2211, provided: ‘‘That any funds hereafter collected by the Judiciary as a charge for services rendered in ad- ministering accounts kept in a court’s registry shall be deposited into a separate account entitled ‘Registry Administration Account’ in the Treasury of the United States. Such funds shall remain available to the Judici- ary until expended to reimburse any appropriation for the amount paid out of such appropriation for expenses of the Courts of Appeals, District Courts and Other Ju- dicial Services and the Administrative Office of the United States Courts’’. § 2042. Withdrawal No money deposited under section 2041 of this title shall be withdrawn except by order of court. In every case in which the right to withdraw money deposited in court under section 2041 has been adjudicated or is not in dispute and such money has remained so deposited for at least five years unclaimed by the person entitled thereto, such court shall cause such money to be deposited in the Treasury in the name and to the credit of the United States. Any claimant entitled to any such money may, on petition to the court and upon notice to the United States attorney and full proof of the right thereto, ob- tain an order directing payment to him. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 960; Pub. L. 97–258, § 2(g)(4)(D), Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 1061.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 852 (R.S. § 996; Feb. 19, 1897, ch. 265, § 3, 29 Stat. 578; Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 224, 36 Stat. 1083). Words ‘‘and the money deposited as aforesaid shall constitute and be a permanent appropriation for pay- ments in obedience to such orders’’ were omitted, in view of section 725p(b)(14), of title 31, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which repealed permanent appropriations of unclaimed money accounts and substituted authorization for an- nual appropriations effective July 1, 1935. Changes were made in phraseology. In U. S. Law Week, Nov. 7, 1939, Rep. Walter Chandler (Author of Chandler Act, Bankruptcy) observed as to the Judicial Code: ‘‘Among the major subjects needing study and revi- sion are—Numerous procedural changes which have been brought about through adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure should be codified.’’ * * * Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1982—Pub. L. 97–258 inserted references to section 2041 in two places. § 2043. Deposit of other moneys Except for public moneys deposited under sec- tion 2041 of this title, each clerk of the United States courts shall deposit public moneys that the clerk collects into a checking account in the Treasury, subject to disbursement by the clerk. At the end of each accounting period, the earned part of public moneys accruing to the United States shall be deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the appropriate receipt accounts. (Added Pub. L. 97–258, § 2(g)(4)(E), Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 1061.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Revised Section Source (U.S. Code) Source (Statutes at Large) 28:2043 ..... 31:725v(b)(related to clerks). June 26, 1934, ch. 756, § 23(b)(related to clerks), 48 Stat. 1236; restated Dec. 21, 1944, ch. 631, § 1, 58 Stat. 845. The words ‘‘Except for public moneys deposited under section 2041 of this title . . . public moneys’’ are sub- stituted for ‘‘All fees and other collections other than moneys referred to in subsection (a) of this section’’ for consistency and because 31:725v(a) is superseded by 28:2041 and is not part of the revised title contained in section 1 of the bill. The word ‘‘Treasury’’ is sub- stituted for ‘‘Treasurer of the United States’’ because of section 1 of Reorganization Plan No. 26 of 1950 (eff. July 31, 1950, 64 Stat. 1280), restated as section 321 of the revised title contained in section 1 of the bill. The text of 31:725v(b)(last sentence) is omitted as obsolete. § 2044. Payment of fine with bond money On motion of the United States attorney, the court shall order any money belonging to and deposited by or on behalf of the defendant with the court for the purposes of a criminal appear- ance bail bond (trial or appeal) to be held and paid over to the United States attorney to be ap- plied to the payment of any assessment, fine, restitution, or penalty imposed upon the defend- ant. The court shall not release any money de- posited for bond purposes after a plea or a ver- dict of the defendant’s guilt has been entered and before sentencing except upon a showing that an assessment, fine, restitution or penalty cannot be imposed for the offense the defendant committed or that the defendant would suffer an undue hardship. This section shall not apply to any third party surety. (Added Pub. L. 101–647, title XXXVI, § 3629(a), Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4966.)
