When it appears that any sheriff or other officer is not discharged of any fine, forfeiture or bill of costs committed to him to collect, the district attorney shall cause him to be summoned and brought before the court that imposed such fine, forfeiture or bill of costs to show a proper discharge or the cause for not collecting the same and paying it over. Such sheriff or other officer shall carry into execution all lawful orders of the court relating to the collection and payment thereof, and shall, by all other means pertaining to his office, promote and enforce the same. [PL 1973, c. 567, §20 (AMD).]
