If an action is entered under section 230.12, subsection 1, the court shall determine whether the legal settlement of the person with mental illness, at the time of the person's admission or commitment, was in one of the defendant counties. If the court finds a county to be the county of legal settlement, judgment shall be entered against the county in favor of any other county for all legal costs and expenses arising out of the proceedings involving the person, and paid by the county of legal settlement. If any such costs have not been paid, judgment shall be rendered against the county of legal settlement in favor of the parties, including the state, to whom the costs or expenses may be due.
