amounts, at the time it collects from the applicant any fees and
penalties required to issue or renew a driver's license or
identification card.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), the department shall
remit all amounts collected pursuant to subdivision (a), after
deducting the administrative fee authorized in subdivision (c), to

notice of failure to appear or failure to pay which is given to the

determined by the department, that is sufficient to provide a sum
equal to its actual costs of administering this section, not to
exceed one dollar ($1) per notice. The fees shall be assessed to each
jurisdiction on a regular basis by deducting the amount due to the
department pursuant to this subdivision from the bails and fines
collected pursuant to subdivision (a), prior to remitting the balance
to each jurisdiction pursuant to subdivision (b).

nonrefundable by the department.
(f) Notwithstanding Section 42003, payment of bail to the
department in accordance with this section shall be paid in full and
not in installments.
(a) When a notice of failure to appear or failure to pay a
fine is recorded on the department records pursuant to Sections 40509
and 40509.5, the fine and any penalty assessments shall be a lien
upon all vehicles of the defendant of a type subject to registration
under this code.
(b) For every lien arising pursuant to subdivision (a) which is
due and not paid, the department may collect the amount of the lien
plus costs, and Article 6 (commencing with Section 9800) of Chapter 6
of Division 3.5 shall apply.
