Section 25303.4 Of Chapter 4. Officers And Employees From California Government Code >> Division 2. >> Title 3. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 4.
25303.4
. (a) If, pursuant to another provision of law, a bank
account has been authorized for the use of the officer, he shall
deposit in that account as soon as practicable any negotiable paper
accepted by him pursuant to this chapter.
(b) If a bank account has not been authorized for the use of such
officer, he may deposit negotiable paper accepted pursuant to this
chapter as soon as practicable with a bank for collection and receive
from the bank cashier's checks in an amount equal to the total
deposit. The cashier's checks shall be deposited in the county
treasury like cash received for the same purpose. The officer
accepting negotiable paper may at his option deposit such negotiable
paper daily in the county treasury instead of in a bank; and the
county treasurer shall handle such negotiable paper like any other
negotiable paper accepted by him.
If any negotiable paper is returned unpaid to the bank with which
it was deposited, the bank shall return it to the officer who
deposited it and, if its amount has been included in any cashier's
check given by the bank, the bank is entitled to a refund in the
amount of the unpaid negotiable paper. Any negotiable paper redeemed
by or charged back to the county treasurer by reason of nonpayment
shall be returned to the officer who deposited it with him. A
memorandum charging the officer making the deposit and crediting the
treasurer shall be issued by the county auditor on the fund into
which the original deposit was made.
