§ 36-2-6-5 — Supplies; review of invoice and certification; approval of claim on contract; allowance for printing of stationery

(a) A county officer or employee authorized to
receive supplies contracted for by the county shall review the invoice
or bill for the supplies item by item and certify in writing on the invoice
or bill:
(1) the fact that the supplies listed on the invoice or bill have been
delivered to the officer or employee in compliance with the
contract; or
(2) the facts showing a breach of contract.
If the officer or employee discovers a breach of contract on receipt of
the supplies, the officer or employee shall deduct a just amount from
the invoice or bill and immediately file the officer's or employee's
certificate and the bill or invoice with the county auditor.
(b) The county executive may approve a claim on a contract for
supplies only if:
(1) it finds that the claimant has complied with the contract; and
(2) the county auditor certifies in writing that the invoice or bill
for the supplies corresponds with the contract as to quality and
prices.
The executive may not use a county auditor's certificate as the sole
basis for this finding.
(c) The county executive may make an allowance for printed blanks
or stationery for a county officer only if they are to be used for the
benefit of the county.
