CALIFORNIA STATUTES AND CODES

SECTIONS 29800-29808

GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 29800-29808
29800. All warrants issued by the county auditor shall be numbered consecutively within each series. The number, date, amount of each, and the name of the person to whom payable, shall be stated thereon. The auditor shall enter the warrants in his register at the time they are issued. 29801. Separate series of numbers may be used for the different kinds of warrants, such as pay roll warrants, general warrants drawn for miscellaneous supplies and expenses, and special warrants drawn on court orders. 29802. (a) Unless otherwise provided by ordinance, any warrant issued is void if not presented to the county treasurer for payment within six months after its date. Whenever, under the provisions of this section, warrants drawn on trust funds became void, the moneys in the county treasury represented by the warrants may be transferred to the general fund of the county by the county auditor unless disposition is otherwise provided by law. (b) Any time within two years from the date on which the original warrant became void, the payee or assignee of any warrant which is void as provided in this section may present the warrant to the governing body of the agency on which the warrant was drawn, or declare by affidavit that the warrant has been lost or destroyed, and the governing body may by resolution authorize the auditor to draw new warrants within the limitations prescribed by the resolution without prior individual order of the governing body, provided the limitations prescribed by this section have been complied with. The new warrant shall be subject to the same limitations as the original warrant which it replaces. (c) If, at any time after a period of two years from the date on which the original warrant became void, or during such other period of time as specified by ordinance, the payee or assignee presents such warrant to the governing body of the agency on which the warrant was drawn, the governing body may adopt an order instructing the county auditor to draw a new warrant in favor of the payee or assignee in the same amount as the original warrant, or the governing body, by resolution, may authorize the auditor, without prior individual order of the governing body, to draw warrants within the limitations prescribed by the resolution in any case in which the auditor determines that it would be inequitable or unreasonable not to draw the warrant, and money is available in the county treasury to make payment on the indebtedness. If the auditor deems it necessary, he or she may present a voided warrant to the governing body for its review, approval, and appropriation of funds. Any such new warrant shall be subject to the same limitations as the original warrant which it replaces. 29803. Except as provided in Section 53912, the auditor shall issue warrants on the treasurer in favor of the persons entitled thereto in payment of all claims chargeable against the county which have been legally examined, allowed, and ordered paid by the board of supervisors. 29804. Except as provided in Section 53912, the auditor shall issue warrants on the treasurer for all debts and demands against the county when the amounts are fixed by law or are authorized by law to be allowed by a person or tribunal other than the board. 29806. Warrants drawn by order of the board on the county treasury for the current expenses during each year shall be paid in the order of presentation to the treasurer. If the fund is insufficient to pay any warrant, the warrant shall be registered and paid in the order of its registration. 29807. Whenever any district, public corporation or public agency uses the county treasury as the depository of its moneys, the county auditor, notwithstanding any other provision of law, may, in lieu of complying with any other procedure for the withdrawal of moneys from the county treasury, prepare his warrant on the county treasury for the same amount as the order, requisition, or other authorization from the district, public corporation or public agency. The warrant shall show the name of the fund upon which the warrant is drawn, date issued, payee's name, as well as any other information deemed appropriate by the auditor. 29808. The auditor may direct the transfer of the amount of the order, requisition or other authorization, from the account or funds of the district, public corporation or public agency to one or more clearing funds in the county treasury to the end that warrants for all districts, public corporations or public agencies may be drawn against one or more clearing funds.
