 8        Sec. 3.  Fees; payment.
 9        (a)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b),  the

11    interpreter services which shall be paid out of  the  general
12    county funds.
13        (b)  Upon  entry of an order of conviction or disposition
14    of  supervision  in  any   criminal   proceeding   in   which
15    interpreter  services  are  provided,  the  court  may  enter
16    against  the  defendant  as  additional  costs  and fees, the
17    reasonable costs of interpreter services.   Upon  appointment
18    of  an interpreter by the court, the defendant must file with
