N.M. Stat. § 34-6-37
Finance; disposition of court income; state treasurer
account.
Each district court clerk shall open an account in a bank which is a member of the
federal deposit insurance corporation. The account shall be in the name of the state
treasurer of New Mexico, and withdrawals may be made only by the state treasurer. All
fines, fees, costs and other money received by the clerk, except money designated by
law for deposit in the court clerk trust account, shall be deposited to this account not
later than two working days after receipt by the clerk. Deposit slips shall be prepared by
the clerk to clearly distinguish between fines and forfeitures which the state treasurer
will credit to the current school fund of the state, money designated by law for credit to
other specific funds in the state treasury, and all other money. Duplicate deposit slips
and all bank statements shall be forwarded immediately to the state treasurer by the
clerk. No collateral securities shall be required of the bank for this account, but the state
treasurer shall make withdrawals from each account at least quarterly, and, in any
event, so that the balance remaining in any account never exceeds fifteen thousand
dollars ($15,000). Money withdrawn shall be credited to the proper account in the state
treasury, and any money not otherwise designated by law shall be credited to the state
general fund.
