Fines may be paid to a military court or to an officer executing its process. The amount of any such fine may be noted upon any state roll or account for pay of the delinquent and deducted from any pay or allowance due or thereafter to become due him, until said fine is liquidated. Any sum so deducted from any state pay or allowance shall be turned into the military court which imposed the fine and shall be paid over by the officer receiving the same in like manner as provided for other fines and moneys collected under a sentence of a summary court-martial. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, a fine or penalty imposed by a military court upon an officer or enlisted man shall be paid by the officer collecting the same within thirty days to the chief of staff of the state and shall form a part of, be credited to and expended from the military fund of the unit of which the person paying the same is a member or to which he is detailed or attached.
