§ 9-1-408 — Payment by auditor's warrants

(a) When accounts are audited and allowed against the
state, or grants, salaries, pay and expenses are allowed by law,
the auditor shall draw a warrant on the treasurer for the amount
due if money is legally available to pay the claim.
(b) Upon satisfactory proof being presented to the state
auditor that any warrant drawn on the state treasury has been
lost or destroyed before having been paid, the state auditor
shall issue a duplicate warrant therefor. The state auditor may
require a bond to be executed, or security approved by him,
payable to the state of Wyoming, in the penalty of the amount of
the warrant and conditioned to save harmless the state from any
loss occasioned by the issuing of the duplicate warrant.
(c) Upon satisfactory proof being presented to the state
auditor that any warrant drawn on the state treasury has been
stolen, forged and then paid, the state auditor may issue a
duplicate warrant to the payee, provided:
(i) The payee affirms in writing under oath that the
endorsed signature on the paid warrant is not that of the payee,
the payee did not aid or abet the individual who stole and
endorsed the warrant, and the payee will assist the state and
law enforcement officials in determining who stole and forged
the paid warrant; and
(ii) The payee, if entitled to any future payments
from the state, agrees that future payments will be reduced by
the amount of the forged warrant, should it be discovered that
the payee provided false information pursuant to this
subsection.
