Sec. 11. (a) If there is sufficient money in the county treasury for the payment of warrants of the county auditor, the treasurer shall pay each warrant of the auditor when it is presented.
(b) If there is no money to pay a county warrant when presented, the treasurer shall write "not paid for want of funds" and the date of presentment on the face of the warrant, over the treasurer's signature. The warrant then bears legal interest beginning on the date of presentment and continuing until:
(1) the treasurer gives notice, by publication under IC 5-3-1, that there is money to redeem outstanding orders; or
(2) the warrant is included in a call under IC 36-2-9-17.
(c) When money for the redemption of outstanding county warrants becomes available, the treasurer shall give the notice prescribed by subsection (b).
