  defendant's driving record provided to the judge under this
  subsection shows that the defendant has not completed an approved
  driving safety course or motorcycle operator training course, as
  appropriate, within the 12 months preceding the date of the
  offense, the judge shall allow the defendant to complete the
  appropriate course as provided by this article. The custodian of a
  municipal or county treasury who receives fees collected under this
  subsection shall keep a record of the fees and, without deduction or
  proration, forward the fees to the comptroller, with and in the
  manner required for other fees and costs received in connection
  with criminal cases. The comptroller shall credit fees received
