The law says that the chief executive can refuse to do something until you pay the required fee or charge. This means if you need the chief executive to do a job or use their power, you might have to pay first.
If you owe any fees or charges to the chief executive under this law, they can take you to court to get the money. The court they choose must be able to handle the case. The money you owe is treated like a debt that you must pay to the chief executive.
