The expenses of the examination and of the transportation of the defendant to and from the custody of the Administrator or the Administrator’s designee are in the first instance chargeable to the county or city from which the defendant has been sent. But the county or city may recover the money from the estate of the defendant, from a relative legally bound to care for the defendant or from the county or city of which the defendant is a resident.
