Debts owed to the state—Interest rate.
Interest at the rate of one percent per month, or fraction thereof, shall accrue on debts owed to the state, starting on the date the debts become past due.

The office of financial management may adopt rules specifying circumstances under which state agencies may waive interest, such as when assessment or collection of interest would not be cost-effective.

This section applies only to debts which become due on or after July 28, 1991.
