Sec. 8. (a) In all changes of venue from the county, the county from which the change is taken is liable for:

(1) the expenses and charges of removing, delivering, and keeping the defendant;

(2) the per diem allowance and expenses of:

(A) the jury trying the cause; and

(B) any of the regular panel in attendance and not engaged in the trial; and

(3) all other expenses necessarily incurred by the county to which the change is taken that result from the change of venue.

(b) All costs and charges included under subsection (a) shall be audited and allowed by the court trying the cause, certified to the auditor of the county from which the change of venue was first taken, and collected by the auditor of the county to which the change was taken. However, where specific fees are allowed by law for any duty or service, no additional costs may be allowed for that duty or service than could be legally taxed in the court from which the change was taken.
