The state treasurer is the custodian of the fund and shall approve disbursements from the fund at the request of the clerk of the supreme court to purchase goods or services which will ultimately be used in the production of publications.

The clerk shall issue a warrant to the supreme court publications revolving fund at such time that he deems the balance in the fund sufficient, but not later than twenty-four months after the transfer from the general revenue fund, payable to the general revenue fund of the state to repay the money transferred to the supreme court publications revolving fund from the general revenue fund.
