§ 7-9-21. State officials to pay in collections.

All state officials shall make a detailed report to the State Fiscal Officer and pay into the State Treasury all public funds, as defined in Section 7-7-1, which are required to be paid into the Treasury. Such funds shall be deposited in the State Treasury by the end of the next business day following the day that such funds are collected, except as provided elsewhere in this section. The State Fiscal Officer and the State Treasurer are authorized to establish clearing accounts in the State Treasury as may be necessary to facilitate the transfer of monies to municipalities, counties and other special fund accounts, as provided by law. The detailed report hereinabove required shall be fully satisfied when any revenue-collecting agency on its applications for received warrants has stated the amount of money which it has collected from any source whatsoever without having to supply the names of the taxpayers who had remitted such money. At the request of any state agency, the State Fiscal Officer, with the advice and consent of the State Treasurer, may by regulation provide for other than daily deposits of accounts by that state agency. The State Fiscal Officer, with the advice and consent of the State Treasurer, shall determine the frequency and method of deposit for the agency.
