When any costs in misdemeanor, traffic, or juvenile cases in county court are found by a county judge to be uncollectible for any reason, including the dismissal of the case, the judge, in his or her discretion, may enter an order waiving such portion of the costs as by law would be paid over by the court to the State Treasurer. In all cases brought by or with the consent of the county attorney, all such uncollectible costs not waived shall be certified by the clerk of the court to the county clerk who shall present the bills therefor to the county board. The county board shall pay from the county general fund all such bills found by the board to be lawful. In all cases brought under city or village ordinance, all such uncollectible costs not waived shall be certified to the appropriate city or village officer authorized to receive claims who shall present the bills therefor to the governing body of the city or village in the same manner as other claims. Such governing body shall pay from the general fund of the city or village all such bills as are found to be lawful.
