Nothing in this section shall prohibit any governing board from using automated recordkeeping procedures or methods and recording different information in lieu of the information specified in this section, provided the information required in this section can be accessed. Warrants and all evidences of indebtedness shall draw a rate of interest to be fixed by the governing board not to exceed the maximum rate provided by Section 498.1 of this title from and after its registration by the treasurer, unless there is cash on hand to pay the same when presented for registration and then the treasurer shall make the same “payable” after registering the same, and no interest shall be computed or allowed thereon when paid. When the treasurer has money on hand to pay warrants duly registered, the treasurer shall publish notice thereof in one issue of a newspaper, or by posting five notices in public places, and interest shall cease on the warrants after thirty (30) days from the date of the publication or posting of said notice.
