When a state warrant has been lost or destroyed before having been paid by the State Treasurer, and a photocopy of such warrant is presented for payment to the State Treasurer by a qualified state depository bank or a Federal Reserve bank, a duplicate warrant need not be issued in order for payment to be made. The State Treasurer may treat the photocopy as the warrant or certificate of the State Auditor or State Fiscal Management Board issued pursuant to law and may pay the same, provided the photocopy is presented in accordance with applicable Federal Reserve Board rules and such regulations as the State Treasurer may prescribe.
