Sec. 771.008. REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES. (a) An agency shall reimburse an agency for the services or resources provided with a voucher payable to the providing agency or electronically as prescribed by the uniform statewide accounting system. The voucher or electronic transfer must be drawn on the appropriation item or account of the receiving agency from which the agency would ordinarily make expenditures for similar services or resources. A receiving agency may authorize a providing agency to gain access to the receiving agency's appropriation items or accounts for reimbursements under this chapter.
(b) A reimbursement received by an agency for services or resources provided under this chapter shall be credited to the appropriation items or accounts from which the agency's expenditures for the services or resources were made.
(c) A payment for an intraagency transaction is accounted for in the same manner as an interagency transaction or an interdivisional transfer of money on the records of the agency, subject to the applicable provisions of the General Appropriations Act.
(d) This subsection applies only if the services or resources are provided under a written contract or agreement. The receiving agency shall reimburse the providing agency within 30 days after the date by which the services or resources are provided and an invoice is received. If the receiving agency does not accept the services or resources or finds an error in the invoice, it shall notify the providing agency of the fact in writing as soon as possible within the 30-day period and make payment within 10 days after the date the agencies agree the problems are corrected or the error resolved. If the agencies cannot agree on the amount of the reimbursement, the comptroller shall determine the appropriate amount. If the receiving agency does not, within the 30-day period, reimburse the providing agency or give the providing agency written notice of a problem or error, the comptroller on request of the providing agency may transfer from amounts appropriated to the receiving agency the appropriate amount in accordance with this section.
