44.020 Claims allowed by courts -- Contest. (1) Within three (3) working days after the first and fifteenth of each month, the sheriff, or any other public official with a claim payable from the State Treasury for duties
performed in any court of the Court of Justice, shall make out the claim and have it
certified by the judge of the court as allowable for payment, and transmit the list to
the Department for Local Government. The claim approved by the judge of the
court shall serve as an order of allowance notwithstanding any statutory provision to
the contrary. The Department for Local Government shall keep a separate record of
all claims allowed in each county, noting the number and amount of each warrant
issued for the payment of the claims. (2) The order of any court authorized by law to approve and allow fee bills, settlements, credits, charges, and other claims against the State Treasury shall not be treated as a
judgment, or made conclusive against the state, but shall only be regarded as prima
facie evidence of the correctness and legality of the fee bill, settlement, credit,
charge, or claim. The Department for Local Government, if it believes the fee bill,
settlement, credit, charge, or claim to be fraudulent, erroneous, or illegal, may, upon
the advice of the Attorney General, refuse to pay and may contest the claim in the
Franklin Circuit Court, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all actions against
the Department for Local Government to compel the payment of claims against the
State Treasury. Effective: July 15, 2010
