        222.50  COUNTY OF LEGAL SETTLEMENT TO PAY.
         When the proceedings are instituted in a county in which the
      person who is alleged to have mental retardation was found but which
      is not the county of legal settlement of the person, and the costs
      are not taxed to the petitioner, the county which is the legal
      settlement of the person shall, on presentation of a properly
      itemized bill for such costs, repay the costs to the former county.
      When the person's legal settlement is outside the state or is
      unknown, the costs shall be paid out of money in the state treasury
      not otherwise appropriated, itemized on vouchers executed by the
      auditor of the county which paid the costs, and approved by the
      administrator.
