...Slay: This is in response to your request, in your capacity as county attorney for Gadsden County, for an opinion on substantially the following questions: (1) SHOULD THE ADDITIONAL $4.00 AUTHORIZED BY CH. 85-225, LAWS OF FLORIDA, WHICH AMENDED ss.
318.18 ,
34.191 and
316.660 , F.S., BE LEVIED ON ALL NONCRIMINAL TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS, OR ONLY INFRACTIONS FROM A MUNICIPALITY WHICH PRESENTLY HAS A SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM? (2) IF THIS ADDITIONAL PENALTY IS TO BE IMPOSED ON ALL NONCRIMINAL TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS OCCU...
...paid monthly to the municipalities and counties, respectively, in the same manner, upon the same bases, and upon the same terms and conditions that fines and forfeitures are distributed and paid to municipalities and counties under the provisions of s. 316.660 . Section 316.660 (1), F.S., provides that except as otherwise provided therein, fines received from violations of ordinances or misdemeanors committed within a county, or of municipal ordinances committed within a municipality within the territorial jurisdiction of the county court, shall be paid monthly to that county or municipality respectively.

34.191 (5) expressly provide that s....

172 So.2d 230 (Fla. 1965); AGO 85-28. The direction in s.
318.21 to pay those monies in accordance with s.
316.660 must be read in light of the subsequent and specific language of subsection (4) of s.
316.660 . Moreover, a construction of s.
316.660 (4) that disregards the words "administering a school crossing guard program" would reduce that phrase to mere surplusage....
