§63-2-503.2.
   
   A. Every person convicted of a violation of the Uniform Controlled
   Dangerous Substances Act, Section 2-101 et seq. of this title, or the
   Trafficking In Illegal Drugs Act, Section 2-414 et seq. of this title,
   shall be assessed for each offense a sum of not less than One Hundred
   Dollars ($100.00) nor more than Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00).
   The assessment shall be mandatory and in addition to and not in lieu
   of any fines, restitution costs, other assessments, or forfeitures
   authorized or required by law for the offense. The assessment required
   by this section shall not be subject to any order of suspension. The
   court shall order either a lump sum payment or establish a payment
   schedule. Failure of the offender to comply with the payment schedule
   shall be considered contempt of court. For purposes of collection, the
   assessment order shall not expire until paid in full, nor shall the
   assessment order be limited by the term of imprisonment prescribed by
   law for the offense, nor by any term of imprisonment imposed against
   the offender, whether suspended or actually served.
   
   B. The assessment provided for in subsection A of this section shall
   be collected by the court clerk as provided for collection of fines
   and costs. When assessment payments are collected by the court clerk
   pursuant to court order, the funds shall be forwarded to the State
   Treasurer for deposit to the Department of Mental Health and Substance
   Abuse Services' Drug Abuse Education and Treatment Revolving Fund. The
   court clerk shall be authorized to retain two percent (2%) of any user
   fees collected pursuant to the Oklahoma Drug Court Act and deposit
   such amount in the Court Clerk's Revolving Fund pursuant to the
   provisions of Section 220 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
   
   C. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving fund for
   the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to be
   designated the "Drug Abuse Education and Treatment Revolving Fund".
   The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year
   limitations, and shall consist of assessments collected pursuant to
   this section, grants, gifts and other money accruing to the benefit of
   said fund and the Oklahoma Drug Court Act. All monies accruing to the
   credit of said fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and
   expended by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse
   Services for treatment and drug testing of indigent substance abusing
   offenders pursuant to the Oklahoma Drug Court Act and for substance
   abuse prevention and education. Expenditures from said fund shall be
   made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed
   as prescribed by law with the Director of State Finance for approval
   and payment. Monies expended from this fund shall not supplant other
   local, state, or federal funds.
