§ 7514 — Payments involving one political subdivision

(a) General rule.--All bills or claims to be paid from any appropriation made by a political subdivision coterminous with the local organization, after first being approved by the local organization or an appropriate officer thereof designated for that purpose, shall be paid from the treasury of the political subdivision only upon the warrant or order of the officer or officers of the political subdivision designated by law to approve or countersign warrants or orders for the payment of the ordinary expenses of the political subdivision, and shall be subject to audit in the same manner as other financial transactions of the political subdivision. In each case, the officer or officers shall have the same power to approve or disapprove as they have in case of warrants for ordinary expenses of the political subdivision, and no warrant or order for the payment thereof shall be issued without the approval.

(b) Gift or grant of money.--Any gift or grant of money made to the local organization or to the political subdivision for the payment of expenses incurred or to be incurred by or for the organization shall be deposited in the treasury of the political subdivision and shall be appropriated by the political subdivision for the purpose for which the gift or grant was made, and any bills or claims to be paid from the gift or grant shall be paid in the manner provided in this subchapter for the payment of other bills and claims against the political subdivision.
