. Upon the filing of the affidavit, the auditor shall issue
and deliver to the legal owner or custodian a duplicate warrant for
the full amount of the original warrant, or for any lesser amount
still due if any portion of the amount for which the warrant was
drawn has been paid, and the treasurer shall pay the duplicate in
lieu of the original warrant. If a warrant is lost or destroyed after
it has been received by a bank with whom the treasurer has entered
into a written agreement pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with
Section 53630) of Chapter 4 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 for
the deposit in that bank of moneys belonging to or in the custody of
the treasurer, the treasurer may pay on a photocopy of the lost or
destroyed warrant in lieu of the original warrant; provided the bank
agrees to indemnify and hold the county harmless from any loss
incurred by reason of that payment.
