§ 25-16-609 — Claims for reimbursement on uncollectible state warrants or checks

(a) The Treasurer of State shall file a claim for reimbursement with the Arkansas State Claims Commission on any uncollectible state warrants or checks received by the office in a normal course of business. (b) Warrants or checks shall be considered uncollectible if all available legal action is taken without any satisfactory results for six (6) months after items become uncollectible and if the Attorney General is given notice of the nature of the claim at the time of the filing for reimbursement with the commission. (c) (1) The reimbursement claim shall be payable from the Miscellaneous Revolving Fund of the commission for either controversial or noncontroversial claims on order of the commission. (2) If the award is greater than the limitation imposed by law upon the commission for the payment of a controversial or noncontroversial claim, then the reimbursement claim shall be referred to the General Assembly for an appropriation as in the case of other claims referred by the commission. This referral shall be handled by the commission.
