A budget unit may be granted authority by the commissioner of administration to establish an imprest fund drawn upon the working capital appropriation issued to the state treasurer for the purpose of making disbursements requiring prompt cash outlay. The custodian of the imprest fund, as often as may be necessary to replenish the imprest fund from the agencies' established operating appropriation and allotment, shall prepare a schedule of disbursements therefrom accompanied by appropriate vouchers and statements of indebtedness therefor, and by certificate as to the condition of the imprest fund. Payment in reimbursement of the imprest fund shall be in the form and manner prescribed for other payments in this Chapter in the amount of the total approved vouchers. The payment shall be made to the custodian of the imprest fund and shall be devoted to reimbursement thereof. Any question relative to the amount to be allowed payment thereof shall be determined by the commissioner of administration. Imprest funds advanced from any fund shall be carried on the general books of the state as an asset of the fund. Upon the determination that the need for the imprest fund no longer exists, such funds shall be remitted back to the state treasurer's office in the full amount advanced within ninety days.
