NRS 226.140 - Payment of warrants; exhaustion of money to pay warrant; notice.


1. The State Treasurer shall pay all warrants drawn upon him or her by the State Controller, out of the proper fund, as directed, in the order in which the same are presented.
2. If there be no money to pay any warrant when presented, the State Treasurer shall endorse thereon the words "not paid for want of funds," and shall note the date of presentation, and attest the endorsement made, by his or her official signature. The State Treasurer shall at the same time make an entry of the date of presentation, number and amount of the warrant in the register required by law to be kept by him or her. So soon as money accumulates or is received into the State Treasury, applicable to and sufficient for the payment of any outstanding warrant or warrants so presented for payment and not paid for want of funds, the State Treasurer shall post a notice in writing in a conspicuous place in his or her office, setting forth the number and amount of his or her warrant or warrants, and the fact that there is money in the State Treasury to pay the same. From the time of the posting of such notice, no interest shall be allowed or paid upon any warrant which by law is or may be entitled to bear interest.
